As I've said before, the world is a very beautiful place, while at the same time being a very ugly place. It just depends how you look at it.
Lately, I've seen the amazing beauty of the world. We sometimes call it "creation appreciation". It's become very easy to look at something and think, "Wow, God, you did an amazing job creating that".
To look at the stars, the sunset, the open sky, and the people God has created, it's hard to miss the beauty created by His hand.
Sometimes the amazing beauty of God's work literally takes me breath away. I honestly am in love with God and am truly captivated by everything He's made.
God is, essentially, made of strength and beauty. When you depend on his strength, life becomes a whole lot easier. I've learned that when you doubt (God, or yourself), that is when you start to fall. When you fully trust in God, things just 'happen' to work out, 'somehow.'
There are lots of people you can look at and just see God's amazing work. You can really see the beauty manifested in their lives. I appreciate those people. It's like a glimpse into the hear of God.
God's strength and beauty are so apparent the more I look, and THAT is why I'm always smiling. Everything seems so much more amazing and so much more beautiful when you love God with everything in you.
Well, I love Jesus. I love His creation. I love the people He's made and put in my life.
2, 4, 6, 8 I appreciate! ;)
