Here we are.

We live in a beautiful world....

In the midst of our joys. In the midst of our pain. In the midst of our grief. In the midst of our happiness. In the midst of our peace. In the midst of our humility. In the midst of our shame. In the midst of our suffering. In the midst of our wondering. In the midst of our laughter. In the midst of our sadness. In the midst of our anger. In the midst of our regrets. In the midst of our darkness. In the midst of our strength. In the midst of our thankfulness. In the midst of our growth.
In the midst of our Creator...

We live in a very beautiful world...in the midst of everything and everyone around us.

We all live under the same sun. The same sun that everyone who was ever created has lived under.

And it's just about seeing the beauty around us. And in us. And in each other. God's fingerprints. God's touch and power. When you see the sun, the lightning, the moon, the stars, the animals, the water, the beaches, the clouds, the rain, the trees that comes up from the earth, and the way God extends His hands to each and every one of us....is beautiful.

It is beautiful. No matter from HERE to THERE. From first breath to last. God knows the answers. God is THE answer. God is good. God is perfect...and yet its beautiful how He still loves US. And even though we aren't perfect, He takes the time to keep working on us. On our hearts. We just have to be open to seeing the beautiful ways He creates, and reshapes us in all His ways. Even IN the ways He chooses to refine us...it is beautiful.

We live in a beautifully created world...with people, and with GOD. THE Loving and Perfect God. Can we open our eyes and recognize Him? And can we recognize the beauty, HE alone, can make out of our lives?

Psalm 139:
13 You made my whole being;
you formed me in my mother's body.
14 I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way.
What you have done is wonderful.
I know this very well.
