MAY/JUNE 2019 OHBELOVEDONE.COM YOU ARE AN ARTIST
FUTURE
I’ve come to realize that as long
as I don’t push myself forward
I’ll stay right where I am. I’m
not concerned about losing the
talent, but rather of growing
stagnant and lazy. I’ve realized
that God gave me this gift, and
so He expects me to use it.
I don’t have an option of
“Should I work on my art
skilled, or shouldn’t I?” I want
to grow and get better and
discover what He means me to
do with it.
what i'd like to tell young artists
Truth be told, I don’t have a lot of advice to give
because I’ve only scratched the surface when it
comes to art – but I can tell you this. What you’re
doing matters. You might feel like you’re so small
that it can’t possibly count – but small things are
incredibly important. Keep on working, because
as the song goes, “if you could only see, the way
that you shine.” You can’t see the impact of what
you’re doing now, and that’s good for you. But
be faithful in what God gave you. Nurture that
talent. Someday you’ll get it. obo
