DAILY INSPIRATION |
For all that
may be known of God by men lies plain before their
eyes; indeed God himself had disclosed it to them.
His invisible attributes, that is to say his everlasting
power and deity, have been visible, ever since the
world began, to the eye of reason, in such things he
has made. (Romans 1:19-20)
Have you ever taken time,
I mean really taken time, to enjoy a sunset or sunrise;
to really take it in, to bath and bask in its glow for
warm colors of reds, yellows, and oranges? How many times
have you taken time to marvel at the birth of a child,
or any other mammal for that matter? Or how about the
intricacies of life itself, the sun, the moon or the
stars?
The proof for the existence of God has always been there
for those who really want to know, who have their eyes
truly open, and who are willing to take God on his terms,
for who he says he is, not who they want him to be. All
that you need to understand of God’s personality
is there in his creation. There is kindness and tenderness
in new fallen snow or in the petal of a rose or the way
a mother cares for her new child. There is power and
fierceness in a thunderstorm or hurricane or the way
the ocean waves crash the shores. There are examples
all around you if you are still and open to hear.
If you are one who is seeking God or just needing to
newly encounter him, then take the time to look for him
in his creation. That includes people too, but don’t
look for him through your personal filters, look for
him and be open for him to respond to you on his terms.
After all he made you and this world you live in, only
he has the right to define the terms of the relationship.
Let go of what you think you want or expect and just
let God reveal himself to you; see him as he wants you
to see him.
Live it Fierce
