Colour outside the lines:

When I was a child I use to colour outside the lines. But I soon learnt that wasn't the correct way to colour and so as I grew older I started to colour inside the lines and went through countless colouring books until I never made one mistake and stayed inside the lines. I wanted to be a great artist who could control a crayon perfectly.

But what is the big deal? Why can't we be a little messy and colour over the lines? To colour outside the lines means to submit, give up the control, and to stop trying to be perfect.

We all naturally make mistakes because we live in a fallen world created by two people who made the ultimate mistake in humanity. Were they colouring outside the lines as they walked with God in the garden of Eden? Yes they was. But they wanted to perfect themselves and be like God, the greatest artist of all.

Colouring outside the lines of the God and you combination, allows you to live in freedom and to become what God created you to be.
