It's Five Minute Friday and I am blogging on the prompt "LOOK" suggested by the Five Minute Friday leader Lisa Jo Baker. Interested in knowing more and joining the gang, go to http://lisajobaker.com/2012/10/31-days-write-story-day-5-five-minute-friday-welcome/
I walked my dogs early this morning. I looked up into the
Denver sky.
I wondered.
He could’ve made the earth a planet that never moved, but He
didn’t. Because of His design the stars are always in different places, each
night a new painting on a black velvet canvas.
He could’ve made ants stoic, lazy little creatures, but He
didn’t. They teach us about work and
persistence. Ant hills are intricate designs of efficiency.
He could’ve made everything one color, but He didn’t. His
creativity demands the joy and variety only teal and chartreuse and burnt
orange can evoke.
He could've made weather stagnant. One season all year, but
He didn’t. Through the alterations in temperature and precipitation, He reveals
to our souls how transformation works so when change happens personally, it’s
not as shocking. We understand it as part of the process of living.
He could’ve made us with no freedom of choice, but He didn’t.
The moments we choose to love Him and to honor Him as Creator and Friend are
moments He cherishes.
He could’ve made me organized, solid, and analytical, but He
didn’t. He made me the way He wants me, as an individual. Flighty, emotional
and creative.
And deeply in love with Him. He could’ve made His Son to die
for my sins and He did. He made a WAY.
I looked up into the Denver sky this morning and I believed.
Again.
