The Beauty of the Earth

Recreation... Vacation... Holidays... These magical words describe times when we can break away from our routines and obligations and get in touch with our feelings. A sunrise in Cape Cod, a sunset in California, the serenity of a lake in the woods of Minnesota, the ancient majesty of Alaskan glaciers, the thundering power of the waves of the Coast-- all stir something within us and impress us with the natural beauty of the world around us.

It's natural to feel infused with a sense of oneness with our planet, a spiritual connection with the trees, water, stars, mountains, sky, and earth.

Yet behind the awesome grandeur of creation there is an even more awesome Creator. The connection for which our souls are longing can be fulfilled by establishing a personal relationship with our Almighty and ever-living God.

To make it easier for us mere humans, God reveals Himself to us through the Person of Jesus Christ. We come to know the character of God and His immense love for us by learning about Jesus, the totally divine, totally human Being who suffered a humiliating death for our sakes so that we might share eternal life with Him.

The beauty of the earth will become even more meaningful when you can experience it as the creation of our loving, omnipotent God. God is more than a "higher power," more than a "feeling of oneness." Get to know your Creator through His Son, Jesus, and your life will change. You'll find that the beauty of this world pales in comparison to the love you will experience as a member of the Kingdom of God.
