The Beauty of Simplicity

 

Constantly I am in awe of what God does.

Rarely, though, do we appreciate it. For instance, the beauty of nature itself. How amazing is it. Come to think of it this very moment, it’s as if God was just trying to win us over. Truly and sadly, that is the case. You see, just when one goes through that dating scene… we have the man attempting to create the perfect setting to win over the gal. So the man may turn on a candle, set the table with wine, rose’s maybe. Then the gal is blown away (most of the time) by his attempt. I see God doing that for us. He sets a beautiful sky, the sun, the beautiful clouds, and the rain, just EVERYTHING so we can notice Him. But do we? We don’t. We complain about how hot it is. Or how cold and wet, how windy, too bright. It’s never just right. Then when we do get the chance to really admire the beauty of what God has placed for us, we don’t thank Him. How selfish have we become? Why do we think we deserve it all? When in reality we don’t even try to deserve it. We think we have to have it just cause. Just cause why is what I ask? God wants to blow us away… He wants us to see how much He loves us. He wants us to see what lengths He has gone through to make us fall in love with Him. He is just that amazing, yet we lack to admire that.
