Isn't God amazing? He creates the most miraculous images all around us for our enjoyment. The problem is that we rarely take the time to marvel at the tiniest canvases that God obviously put a lot of time into. I know that each flower and insect, no matter how small, generally provides a specific need in the food chain or in other roles in nature, but I firmly believe Our Heavenly Father CHOSE to paint these with such intricate and artistic design, just to brighten our lives with simple enjoyment and to remind us just how great He is! For, it is when I ponder the tiniest of beauties, such as this Viola bloom, that it strikes me the most to consider just how mighty our God is. This bloom actually measures less than one inch in diameter, but the love, effort, and devotion to paint it so magnificently is clearly unmeasurable, infinite, and surpasses all human understanding. That is the most divine design there is, and it's this timeless beauty that serves as a significant reminder to me that our God is worthy of my praises day in and day out. He is worthy in our good times. He is worthy in our bad times. He is The Artist; He is The Creator; and He alone has breathed all life into existence. Human life was not a mere accident or result of a big bang. God actually designed us, as he has designed ALL living things. He intentionally created us in His image, and gave us free will. How can we find any value within ourselves if He is not present in our hearts and in every aspect of our lives? Wherein lies value in a human who firmly believes they evolved from a lima bean or furry ape in the jungle? My value comes from what God placed within me...the desire to love, the free will to choose Him, and the blessings that follow that choice. Our God is mighty. Our God is supreme. And our God is visible in the tiniest of things!Bobbie
