Random thoughts...

How can we see and experience everything in this world, the things that God has made...
The birds, the trees, the flowers, ants...all of it...
and not fall to our faces in wonder and amazement of Him?
These things around us are so beautiful....that I can't even begin to think how wonderful it all was (and will be again) before it was cursed.

I love being creative, and when a project I'm working on goes will, I'm extremely proud of it. But the things i have made are NOTHING to the marvelous things God has made for us to enjoy.
Whats a pretty skirt, to an Old Oak tree with leaves turning colors, each one just as beautiful as the other?
Whats a drawing, compared to a majestic blue mountain?
Whats a poem, to God's Word: a beautiful love story meant just for us?

I can only imagine how much love He has for us, his most precious creation.

Then I think of the times I have began a project, and it just won't turn out right. I get so frustrated that I give up on the project.
Thank God that He does not act the same way!
He created us, and although we have messed up big time, He has not (or ever will) given up on us. How amazing is He, that He was willing to go through so much trouble, for us who are so un-deserving... just so that we could spend eternity with Him!

I'm not sure why I have written this... I am just feeling particularly overwhelmed with God and His Love! (:

^"8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— ⁹not by works, so that no one can boast. ¹⁰For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Ephesians 2:8-10

[and I just have to share that I found this bible verse after having written this, during my bible study. I thought it went along perfectly. Isn't God great? (: ]
