Beauty is the essence of God

Tomorrow is by far one of my favorite holidays. With the hustle and bustle of Christmas and Easter, even the strongest followers of Jesus may get distracted from the true reason we celebrate. That is why on Earth Day I like to reflect on the beauty of God and His creation. When I think about the Earth and everything in it, my head spins at the complexity, but then the realization hits that the same God who formed that intrinsic mass is the same God who tenderly picks me up when I fall....the same God who whispers assurance into my ear...the same God who made a way for us to live. "Even the mountains bow down....." Do not take anything in this Earth for granted.

So tomorrow, as I go outside into this beautiful Earth, I will look at my surroundings and praise Him.

I challenge you to do the same...
if it is raining.....reflect on all of the blessings God has so willingly showered upon you.
if it is sunny......bask in the warmth of His love, knowing that His love in unconditional.
if the birds are singing, if the rabbits are playing haphazardly through the field, if you have to walk over hundreds of worms to get to class.....try to find the beauty in the day because that day is made by our Father, and our Father is the essence of beautiful.

Happy Earth Day!!! :)
