Panes of glass stack up with painted layers between. A delicate theme prepared on the bottom layer has grace and strength in it. More layers are added, delicate baby colors, colors of little league teams, band uniforms, and school colors. Collegiate layers are added, scripts of text painstakingly prepared in notes. Adulthood layers are added with heavier tones of responsibility. Choices add more layers, choices that the individual has made, choices that have been made which affect the individual.
The first layer, many presume it is lost in the midst of the other layers. The delicateness belies it’s persistent strength. Like a ray of light which is shown through, the shadow reflects from the first layer onto the others, leaving an imprint.
Hope, truth, love, shining onto the layers, shone from God onto his children, where the delicate cords of grace are prepared for them. The layers continue to add. But in each, there are additional ways that grace is shone through.
