(This was the view from my back deck tonight...)There was so much to take in. The fresh smell in the air, of rain. The booming and rolling of the thunder. Bolts of lighting. The glimpses of bright light breaking through the darkening sky and clouds. The wonder of the rainbow. The majesty of the mountains.
All of these things are His creations. Incomprehensible. And to think that we too, are His creations. The God of this vast and wide universe, is our Father. We are His. We are His children. Loved and cared about more than we could ever begin to understand or fully appreciate. He knows us, He loves us, and He hears us. There are many things that we don't understand, like how He created the world, or why we must struggle or suffer, or why things don't always go the way we planned. But the one thing we must have faith in and know for sure is that He loves us. We might not understand the hows or the whys and many things may remain unanswered...in those times, knowing that He loves us must be enough. It must be enough for us to press on and press forward and follow Him and serve Him, come what may, no matter what.
And so I am thankful for nights like this, where the wonder of His creations sinks into my heart, and I am reminded of His greatness. Of His majesty. Of His endless power. But most of all I am thankful for the reminder that He is my Father and He loves me, no matter what.
