color of my love - July 19, 2008

~ colors of my love ~

Today at Bible study Molly was talking about how in Captivating, Stasi talks about seeing the beauty of the earth and how that’s God romancing us into a relationship with him. When I got home from work I was thinking about today and the beauty that I saw. 

I was at work standing around when there was nothing to do and I peaked outside to see what the weather was like and there was an amazing sunset outside. The sky was an amazing shade of pink and purple. The clouds were spread out just so. I wanted to take pictures of it so badly but I was at work and didn’t have my camera. 

I didn’t really think about it at the time, but when I got home I realized that that was God, showing me His beauty, saying “I love you. I want your heart. I made that just for you.” As I was writing that, it came to mind something that Stacey said at Bible study last night, everything that God made became more beautiful and detailed the farther into creation He went. God created women last. We are more beautiful, detailed, and intricate then the sunset, then anything in all creation. We were created last, not as an afterthought, but as the cherry on top of all creation. The finishing touch. 

The more I think about it, the more I hear God saying, “You think that’s beautiful? I created you, as a woman, to be much more beautiful then that sunset.”
