Recognizing expressions of God's love

"Surely God has set the created order into motion as a continual witness, a voice that incessantly goes forth, a beauty that relentlessly exudes the message of His deep love and His extravagant kindness.  He has not done this without the motivation of love burning in His heart and the yearning for the eyes of the heart of men, who walk amidst this grandeur, to perceive love in all of this created life...As the heavens declare the glory of God, I (take) my place as one receiving this personal expression of God's love - a testimony of His nearness unto me (Ps. 19:1-6)."
- Excerpt from Entirety by Dana Candler

So many times as I watched the sun set, looked up into a cloudy sky, stood in the rain or followed the flight of a butterfly as far as I could track it, I have been struck deep inside with something that I could not express!  I recognized that God was speaking to me, but I did not catch the message.  I did not realize until today that the reason I am so captivated by the beauty of creation is because it gives me the faintest glimpse into the beauty of the Creator and whispers to my soul of His incredible love for me!!!
