Beauty Wraps Itself

Beauty wraps itself gently around the sky on the wisps of clouds.  Dawn breaks in a glorious symphony of red that fades to purple. What a sunrise! What a God that would create such spectacular and fleeting mornings! Mornings that sing His praises.  How do the rocks sing praise? They sing in their strength. How do the trees proclaim His majesty? Their leaves forming lace against the sky; the brilliance of carbon monoxide becoming oxygen.
All created things proclaim the joy of the Lord. Each piece functioning as it was created to function.  The mystery of cell life reflecting the complexity of galaxies.
There is so much more to our God than we can see.  I dreamed once that I had a baby.  Her head was a giant diamond and each facet held a different face.  Even this complicated image cannot begin to describe the facets of our God.
I thank Him that he allows me to serve him.  I thank Him that he sent His son so that we can begin to know Him. I thank Him that He orchestrates even the tiniest events in our lives.  I thank Him that he is His Glorious self! He is the foundation and completion of all beauty.
