Nature

Nature is a connection between that of mankind and a higher being, Jesus Christ. Throughout his creation God has left his fingerprints for man as he works his way through a journey to see God. Nature reveals God's own identity and the desire for man to seek more, to know more of an Almighty creator. Each piece of God's own creation echo's a simple, yet powerful reminder for man of whats to come if he continues to seek the Most High and wrap himself around the masterpiece of God's beauty. When man digs his feet deep into the shallow depths of the ocean water he can be reminded of God's never ending love. One can find His love within the crashing of the ocean waves. Just as the waves always find there way to the sandy shores, so does God's love reach His people. Waves may crash down hard with power and strength or may slowly fade into the scene with a sense of suttleness and simplicity. Let this be a reminder a God's voice in your life. God provides answers in several different ways, shapes, and forms. He may answer you upfront and outright reminding you of his strength, power, and prominence in your life. Yet, God may answer with simplicity as he whispers into his child's ear "I love you, trust in me, and everything will be okay." As the ocean waters fade far beyond the human eye and off into the horizon let this remind you of His power that stretches to every end of the earth, where every single individual can be reached. A reminder of God's perfection is given when a mother looks deep into the eyes of her newborn. Let His spirit be felt as one becomes wrapped up in the midst of the wind. At first glance the wind might not be visible, but if one looks closely, at the movement of the high meadows or as the leaves of a tree make their swift journey to the ground, you know the wind is there. Just as the wind is felt, so is His Spirit, just look around you. Everything that an individual can lay their eyes upon was breathed by the Spirit Himself, the breath of God Himself. Allow the Spirit to work in its mysterious ways. You'll know its there, by the touch in your heart, by the goosebumps that consume your body while in worship, by the tear that stops as it rolls down your face because of a God who wipes it away and wraps his arms around his child. May we always be lost in the mysteries found within the stars. Let them be brought together to remind you of a masterpience centered around the mercy of God. The God who watches his children fail time after time, star after star, yet redeems them no matter what and under any cirumstance. Christ, a merciful masterpiece. Nature, a reminder for man to seek Christ.
