When Everyone Is On One Mission
Every day, Rod Kitson paints 1 square painting of a view of his apartment.
This is what it looks like when one singular vision becomes depicted by various elements at the same time. When placed together, it’s not perfect. It looks collage-y. It appears more like a tapestry. It captures the raw moments from the vantage point per painting.
If you only look at one painting by itself, you’d be tempted to applaud the beauty of the one, isolated, painting. And its true, one by itself is beautiful.
But when put together, these form a singular vision of a master painter. You see the greater work at work.
This made me think of God’s mission. When we fragment the global church, exalting one version of it over another, we miss the bigger picture. This is God’s, and God’s-alone, work. It’s a singular ,multi-thousand-years-and-generations kind of project.
Let us not forget this when we’re working on our little canvas he’s entrusted us with.
