somethings

Have you ever wondered why in this world there is any beauty at all? We don't deserve beautiful sunsets. We didn't do anything worthy of the winds caress. There's nothing in our contract that demands grass to grow or trees to stand tall. Why does God delight our world with such things? What is it that brings Him to cares so much about the little things that we do often ignore?

I know the answer: God is glorfied with beauty, and God loves us. Lets think about that for just a moment. God, loves us. We are His people. He loves us like He loves His Son. You know how much He loves His Son? He loves Jesus Christ always and forever. He loves Him with all His heart and all His soul. He loves Him. He loves Him. He loves us as He loves Him.

He does not love us because we are beautiful. We are beautiful because He loves us.
Tonight as you prepare to enter His presence tomorroe with His peeople, think about His love. Let it consume your being.

"In beautiful and holy robes
Bring worship to the LORD."

Psalm 96.

And God it is who alone enables us to worship him. Even what we make of beauty is his creation.

Just a note: Thanks for stopping by my blog! I know Philip misses you all a lot. He's been really "homesick" for New Jersey. :o)

Thanks for the post on beauty! It is truly a mercy of God that He gives us such a wonderful world to live in. The story of His salvation so much surpasses the beauty of Creation that it is truly amazing to consider. What a God we must have, who can make such lovely things!
