Beauty in Colors

You know what's cool about reading Genesis chapters 1 and 2? I like watching God's creativity come out.

I mean, it's easy for you or me to snap a picture of something beautiful, be it a sunset or a rainbow. Or we can paint something. But God's creation wasn't based on something, it all came from his head.

I can totally see God, sitting in the void all of a sudden deciding that His ideas were too beautiful for Him to NOT but them down, and so he begins painting all the colors of a oceanic sunset over a island full of trees. He mixes his Reds and Oranges of light over the Blues of the water, inserting the Greens and Browns of the island, with a little bit Navy Blue, some Yellow, Pink and Black thrown in to create the picture you see above you.

Only it's not just a picture, it's a 3-D image, that lives, moves and breathes. It sustains life, specifically, human life. And all just so we can look at the Sunset and be moved by it's beauty.

I admire artists so much, that they can take what they see infront of them and put down on paper, or copy it's majesty with a camera, but nothing is better than watching the orignial; God's own World that he gave for us to enjoy.

Do me a favor. Tonight, around...9:15 or 9:20, step outside and face west. Go somewhere without too many trees and just watching as the sun sinks down into the horizon. Watch how the colors blend and change. Watch the clouds, the sky, the shadows creeping on the ground. And then pray, and thank God for creating everything he did, from the simple beauty of a Sunset, to the Complex sophistication of You. Because you are the most beautiful creation that God ever made, and everything else He made, He made for you.
