Morning greets me
Heaven treats me
An awakened sky
A scroll unfolding.
Streaks of sunlight
Caressed in colors
Lightly brushed
Sunrise, before me.
Golden beams
Tap autumn leaves
- wake of color,
A courting path.
Stroke by stroke
Image by image
Clarity, definition,
Pointillism, abstraction.
Behold, His celestial canvas!
Gen 1: 3-4 . . . And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good.
There’s something about a sunrise, blank canvas, or an empty sheet of notebook paper which calls the artisan soul to ruminate creativity. The how of becoming, changes in dimension, the tearing down and building up; the molding, shaving, the adding or not adding of natural elements - all are part of a personal creative process birthed from the mind of an artisan soul.
Appreciative eyes dance admiringly, when artisan creativity inspires wonder. Similarly, when God created the earth He did so with humanity in mind; his courtship to win our hearts began as soon as He spoke light.
God could’ve chosen to create the earth in Sepia, blending black, white, and gray; a mural of neutrality. Instead, He chose the brilliance of color, fragrance, texture and combined it all to showcase his talent.
Through the eyes of creation, we see God’s perfection and beauty; a quiet stillness offering hope to the hurting heart. Friend, one of the best ways to bring lightness to your soul is to appreciate the beauty and wonder of our world.
Today, let me challenge you to look outside, be it from a window, or a casual stroll, and enjoy peace and quiet assurance baptized in the elements of nature.
