Looking for the beauty of God …
My wife and I head to the forest preserve…
Looking for the fall colors…
The bright reds and yellows and orange of the leaves
But the best we find is brown…
And even that is rare…
Most trees have shed their leaves….
And sit bare and dark against the gray fall sky.
We walk to the lake that reflected so much color last fall…
Not this year.
I take a picture anyway…
And stand looking at the lake…
That’s when I see the beauty of God it still possesses…
Its clear glassy surface reflecting the grasses at its edge and the clouds overhead.
And that’s when I learn a lesson about seeing beauty of God …
Sometimes, our own expectations blind us to what God has done.
When we get home…
We look at the fall color that surrounds us…
The big maple …
The bushes and grasses…
And realize…
We don’t have to go someplace special to look for the beauty of God …
The beauty of God is all around us…
All the time…
Everywhere…
Because God created it all…

He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. …

A beauty of God is all in all, as shown by the earth alone, goes so much deeper
As we all travel this world we are in, seeking for the most beautiful, here there, and maybe over there in the trees and other physical things,
One day it is revealed to us, those that will not give up belief as even Job would not give up belief, would not deny God.
Finally it will be revealed to anyone who stands in belief even through adversities, will see the beauty is inside in thee in that new heart and spirit given thee from Father of the risen Son for thee, as predicted would be done in Ezekiel 36:26
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27
When I look at myself, and at others. It’s amazing knowing a God who created human beings. Is an Amazing God that knew what He was doing when He did it. And when I read Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. \0/\0/
