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.
