Often we blow through life caught up in work or school, and completely forget why we are here on this earth. Our purpose here is to serve God, and to do what is good in His eyes. We never really take a minute to stop and enjoy God's beauty which surrounds us everyday. We must all make every minute of everyday that God has given us count, because we never know when we have just breathed our last breath. Live life to the fullest extent for Him, and notice and enjoy his magnificence everyday.
It is easy to see God's beauty if we just open our eyes and look around us. Just like the star-lit sky that hangs over our heads at night, while our Maker hides in the midst of them with watchful eyes keeping watch of us. Or the beauty of the shining orange sun that rises every morning and sets every evening. The vast rolling green hills are also a prime example of God's beauty. There are so many beautiful things in this world that God has given to us, and we should be grateful for them.
Although there are many beautiful things on this earth the greatest beauty of all can be obtained by opening your heart to God. This beauty is the beauty of a second chance. A chance to spend eternity in Heaven with our Creator, and where all things are magnificent. This should be our main goal in life. It is almost impossible to sit around and look at God's creations and think how someone could not believe in Him. There is no excuse for letting school or work get in the way of having a relationship with God. We should be grateful for what God has given us, despite the mood we are in. And if you find yourself in a bad mood, look around at some of the things God has given you, and maybe this will make you feel better.

Cody,
ReplyDeleteOk first of all T.J. would have to say that, but I think your blog was really good and I will admit I give you props. You have good writing skills. I loved when you said "if you are in a bad mood look around at some of the things God has given you..." We definitely forget to do that and your blog was a good reminder to look at the positives in life and see the beauty God has created.
