From the Author

Others may have smeared your life canvas with dirt and grime and used and abused you, but God's masterpiece remains untouched. No matter what you have gone through in your life, no matter what is happening now,

God's love can weave a golden bond of restoration and redemption within you. Jesus holds out His nail-scarred hands and beckons you. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Someday, we will all see the God-created masterpiece beneath.
