Years ago I was in a place of believing that God, although loving, was sober and required immediate obedience. Of course this was true, but one summer afternoon while Royce and I were driving to Jekyll Island, I discovered another side of my Heavenly Father's personality. I remember very clearly driving along looking at the sky, the flowers that were blooming everywhere and the trees - I dearly love trees. My heart spoke to me and said, "I want to know the God that created all this beauty."
That day was a fork in the road for me. Even though it had not been a conscious prayer, the Lord heard the desire of my heart and began to show me the beauty of His creation all around me. I continued to honor His laws and strive to please Him, but now, deep in my spirit I served a beautiful, loving, kind, generous Father whose idea of beauty was overwhelming.
Several years later I re-discovered my love for photography and the idea of our Heavenly Father as a God of beauty slowly worked its way outward and through my camera lens. No matter how hard I try though, its impossible to capture on a photograph the magnificence of His world. He is an awesome God!!
How could a God who creates all this beauty with the words of His mouth be anything other than loving and good? The whole earth is filled with His glory...
