To Love and Be Loved

This blog is inspired by fellow partner in ministry David Miller. No I am not related. Anyways here is his post titled "In Awe of God".

The idea that really got me thinking was the verses from Psalms.

Psalm 8:3-4 says,

"When I consider your heavens,the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars,which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him,the son of man that you care for him?"

This blows my mind. We are given a soul. We are also first loved and cannot love until we realize that God is loving us no matter what. This is very well summed up by Misty Edwards in the song, What only you can do (ignore the actual images on the video).

All I know is that we have a loving God. A God who cares enough to make us amazed by everything around us. Trees, grass, mountains, lakes, etc. etc. Whatever gets you going just remember God created it.

Yet so often we miss the most beautiful, most common creation and that is simply human beings. We look for beauty all around and we find it. But we miss the greatest creation. We miss the creation that God cared so much about that he created other stuff for humans to take care of.

Next time you are searching for beauty dont look beyond those standing around you. Those who are closest to you. Look at their hearts and not their faces. That is where the true beauty lies.
