The creator of the heavens and earth laboured in love to bring this vision into existence. Planned every detail and thought out every design in artistic beauty and grace. If so much love and care was put into the heart of every creature to be beautiful just as it is; if so much consideration and thought was breathed into every flower, tree and raindrop to survive even the harshest of element, then wouldn’t that love and care extend to you as well. When you look in the mirror don’t look at your perceived flaws, every detail that makes you feel different or unworthy. Creation was built in love and unity, and we were all created as heirs.
When you see the birdfly through the storm, or the bear rise again each spring, when you see the trees give up their colour each fall and bloom again in the spring, have faith that these very wonders we take for granted are but a reflection and reminder of how loved we are. In the eyes of a child the world lights up, and we are all children of the divine, created perfectly and as wonderfully as the heavens and earth.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? - Matthew 6:25-27
