Wait for the Artist

By Kayla Zilch

I was daydreaming in church yesterday, and I finally put my finger on it. This empty, resonate feeling I’ve been carrying around in my chest since the sudden, necessary departure of the man I’ve been dating.

The feeling of being seen by many, but not really known. Breakups throw you into a spotlight of sorts, if only for a brief moment—your pain the momentary object of your circle’s curiosity, and your brokenness is center-stage, stumbling and shameful, without anything to cover itself with.

The feeling of desiring to be fought for, chosen, sacrificed for—but looking around and finding the object of your passionate adoration gone, moved on.

Have you ever been to an art gallery, and noticed the two types of people occupying the space? You've got the casual tourists, drifting from painting to painting, snapping iPhone photos and never more than twenty feet beyond their pack of friends. They're there to pass time, to have an experience.

Then, there are the artists.

These people aren’t in a hurry. They pause at one painting for several minutes, and either stand too close or too far back, trying to see the painting in its larger context before leaning in and counting the brushstrokes.

Artists don't simply come to admire—they recognise the painting as a manifestation of the same creativity woven into the tapestry of their own souls.

They can understand art intimately, because they, too, are art.

But most people you'll want approval from, or fall in love with, are tourists.

You'll exist to show them something, maybe get a few photos, and then remain long after they've gone home and Insta'd the best one.

Wait for the artist.

Better yet, wait for that one art romantic willing to trade tens of thousands of dollars to take you and make you a permanent part of their life, the person eager to look at you every day, who believes your presence won't diminish with repeated viewing.

The preacher said one thing that pinned me: "Don't adopt an external form because you don't know who you were created to be." Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding.

If you're not accepted wholly now, one day, you will be.

There's nothing wrong with you. Your strength creates space. Your form is lovely. You're more than something to be admired. You deserve to be known and chosen, over and over again.

Wait for the artist.

“But it was during my greatest distress when I felt the Lord’s presence poured upon me. & it was in those heartbreaking moments I learned to trust this God who provided unimaginable strength during unimaginable pain.” Christyn Taylor

Hold onto the good things happening in your life. It doesn't have to be glamorous. It is the small successes and realizations that shape the big picture. Keep your best moments close to your heart and don't let them pass you by. Be defined by what you love—be defined by your strengths. You are not defined by your past mistakes, weaknesses, secrets, or fears. You are more than all of those things.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 💞 If only women knew the spiritual weight they are bringing to the table. When God created man and woman, He wanted them to fill the earth, but only gave to Adam a garden. Why? Because the man gives the direction, but the woman gives the amplitude. And just as Eve was called to bring the work of her husband from local to global, as women, we still are natural vision expanders. No matter what you have, if you give it to us we make it bigger, higher, stronger, broader and better. • This is so intrinsic to our nature that the purpose of a woman is never in what she does but always in who she is, for when she is who God says she is, she naturally does what she's been designed to do. But when the enemy can't destroy you he distracts you, right? Too many women are being who the world is telling them to be, instead of being who God created them to be. • This is why God called me to create GROW AND GLOW, a ministry that God is using to bring women to a new level of revelation of who God is and of who they are in Him.

No matter what you're doing, you should always strive to live by passion and not by obligation. * Martha invited Jesus out of love, but she served Him out of duty. And the problem that happens when you do so is that you start seeking for external rewards, since you don't have the internal reward of just doing what you love. You suddenly start doing what you once love for people's approval, just like Martha, or for fame, money or all those exterior things that will never make you feel better on the interior. * Go back to your passion. Remember why you're doing what you're doing and enjoy it. Don't let your what define your why. Place "being joyful " on the top of your To-do list. And, above all, thank God for what He allows you to do for His glory. ✨ • • • • • • • #womeninspiringwomen #shereadstruth #soworthloving #womenintheword #shareyourheart #bedeeplyrooted #thatsdarling #purposefulliving #makeitblissful #lampandlight #jesuscalling #followingjesus #gritandvirtue #christianblogger #darlingmovement #faithfilledcaptions #soulscripts #wellwateredwomen #sheislight #bedeeplyrooted #sheisfearless #thehappynow #lifelivedbeautifully #risingtidesociety #sheworkshisway #unfilteredchristianwoman #propelwomen #boldbraveyou #flashesofdelight #christiancreative https://www.instagram.com/naellesalako/p/BuML_5gHP_R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v6ph7syh848h
