The making of a masterpiece

(*I took this particular piece of writing out from a project I wrote 2 years ago. The project is still not finished, but this particular piece, I appreciate a lot. It's very reassuring and I just wanted to share with you all.)

The making of a masterpiece

"If there really is an art to starting over again, how many times must we start over before it loses its art? Does starting over again ever become a detestable thing that we should strive to avoid? Does it ever become common and so ordinary that people begin to lose notice of our new beginning? Will people ever become weary of us having to start from scratch? Will they ever lose patience with us? Does one really redeem time by starting over again, or is that time considered a loss? Is the lesson learned different each time we must start over? Or is it the same each time? What ultimate lesson must we learn to finally reach the point where we no longer have to start over? When will the art of starting over again become a masterpiece that others can look at in awe and great appreciation? Or how will we feel if perhaps others do not see a masterpiece? Should we even care what they see or do not see? How many chances will life give us to start over again? How many falls will we make before our lives turns into a work of art? How many nights must we sit up wondering or lie down crying? How many blows must a heart take before being given a new one? How many days must we walk alone? How much of our family and friends have to be gone away from us, lacking understanding of us? I guess we must wait, as agonizing as waiting can be, until our change comes. The joy in this, the determination, the reasoning for continuing to begin again is knowing that in this, God is making a masterpiece out of us. And we must let him be the painter, the author and finisher of our faith."
