Our God is truly amazing! He didn't
just create the trees, flowers, mountains, rivers, and vast oceans to
stare in awe of their beauty. He didn't just create the animals to be
creatures of habit, each one fulfilling a need of nature. He didn't
just create the stars, nebulas, and other galaxies to entice the eyes
during the night. All of these things He created so that when He
created man, a being capable of independent thought and action, that
man would have every need and want fulfilled by the imagination of
God's creation.
The love of our God is so incredible
that the Bible uses many words just to describe the vast array of
aspects of His love. You think that when you're dating or married
that your love of your significant other drives you to do awesome
things, to go above and beyond your normal daily activities just to
make them happy? With our Heavenly Father, His love goes way beyond
anything we're capable of so how much do you think He's worked just
to be with us, to communicate with us, and shared so much of His vast
resources so that we can experience life beyond our limited
imaginations?
Have you discovered for yourself who
God truly is? Have you looked out into the vast forests and listened
to the rustling leaves? Have you sat at the edge of a river and
watched the waves form as the water flows over the uneven surface
below? Have you witnessed the animals of the wild, taking care of
each other, teaching the young how to survive and thrive? Have you
used your imagination at night to stare into the sky and find beauty,
to pick out the patterns of the stars and watch the Milky Way galaxy
rotate across the sky through the night?
Our God created the science that holds
everything together. He created the love between parents and their
children. Our Heavenly Father gave us a drive to explore, to grow,
and experience new things. Each one of us brings something special to
the whole. Not one of us is considered extra and tossed aside. And
all of this, is just here on Earth where sin has invaded and
corrupted. Can you imagine what awaits us in Heaven? Have you ever
dreamt of what will be once sin has been removed? What a glorious
vision will soon come to reality. No longer forced to hide because of
our sin, we'll walk freely in the presence of our Creator. What a
glorious time that will be! Praise to our Father who has blessed us
beyond our wildest imaginations!
