When I Looked At the Stars.

Oh but to be surrounded by this glorious creation that consumes every area that my eyes have the pleasure of using their vision on. I can see it all the time, but it takes all the time to really see it. To be taken away by the stars, the trees, the water...lost in amazement caused by the beauty He's created. That's where I am right now. I'm in love with everything around me and everything around me is filled with His love. He created it with me in mind because He loves me....He created this place for me. This beauty, this wonder, this place I call home...it's all by Him and it's all because He wanted it so. This earth, this life, that darkness that once intrigued me and this glorious light that consumes me....He made it for you too, you know. He made it for us. He gave us this place to see what we could do with it. He knows that our small powers could never effect the true beauty of it all....He knew there would never be a deficiency of beautiful things for us to be taken back by. He created all of this, the things we see, and the things we don't; the things we feel, and the things we care not to. He gave it to us for love....He gave it to us to see what kind of love could be returned. But, how can we even begin to consider repaying Him for these things...when we can't even think straight for the amazingness that overtakes us? You see, He's created so much beauty that He Himself got consumed in it and forgot we couldn't see it all. That's why He gave us friends and family...to show us the other beauty in the world. He created them to show us the beauty of emotion...love, happiness, and even hate and sadness. They all have an intense beauty about them...we can never understand it all. No matter how much we give of ourselves, we will never be able to repay Him for what He's allowed us to see. Because we can't see all He's put before us...it's impossible for any human being to see all the beauty of the world. And though it may be a hopeless endeavor, I intend to do everything I can to see as much of it as I can and to show Him that His creation, which displays so much beauty and love, is more amazing than anything I could ever dream or hope for.
