BEHOLD THE BEAUTY

Since I was a child I have admired God’s creation. But it was only after I trusted Christ as my Savior that I attributed it to His mighty power and great wisdom. Now I can’t look at nature without thinking about the greatness of God. I feel as Elizabeth Charles did when she wrote the following:   What inexpressible joy for me, to look up through the apple-blossoms and the fluttering leaves, and to see God’s love there; to listen to the thrush that has built his nest among them, and to feel God’s love, who cares for the birds, in every note that swells his little throat; to look beyond to the bright blue depths of the sky, and feel they are a canopy of blessing,–the roof of the house of my Father; that if clouds pass over it, it is the unchangeable light they veil; that, even when the day itself passes, I shall see that the night itself only unveils new worlds of light; and to know that if I could unwrap fold after fold of God’s universe, I should only unfold more and more blessing, and see deeper and deeper into the love which is at the heart of all. We would all do well to spend more time enjoying the simple things of life. No entertainment ever devise by man can compare to what God has created, and it is all free! Just open your eyes and take in the wonders of God’s mighty power. As you do so keep in mind that He is your Father and has promised to take care of you. Now, you have a good day!
