The Beauty of His Creation
By: Laurentino, Ma. Keneth G.
Have you ever wondered how beautiful the world is? Have you tried exploring the world?
Have you seen wondrous and beautiful places before? How does it feel to have close contact
with nature? Does seeing beautiful scenery brings you joy and satisfaction? Does it bring you
peace and satisfaction? It does, right? And did you know that you yourself is one of God’s
masterpiece of His creation? Aren’t you amazed at how great an artist our God is?
It is very evident to us the beauty of His creation; it reflects God’s wondrous love and
endless grace to us His people. There are many beautiful things that God has provided for us to
enjoy on this planet. We live in a wonderful world with beautiful trees, majestic mountains, vast
oceans, and spectacular sunsets, among other things. Nature is stunning. Mornings with bright,
beautiful skies, birds singing, and dew glistening on the grass are definitely a gift from God.
Further, from the beauty of the countryside as the sun sets, to snow-capped mountain peaks
beneath a starry sky, to fields of light-drenched flowers, to the variety of plants and animals it is
an opportunity given to us humans and experience these things.
Looking at the vast creation of God from outer space up to here on earth, isn’t amazing,
how great our God is? Embracing and contemplating God’s wonderful creation; brings inner
serenity, heightens the sense of harmony, and intensifies the yearning for a wonderful existence.
Astonishment and appreciation to His creation could bring praises and thanksgiving to the
Creator of these marvels. It also brings people into a close connection with God. God's
magnificence, greatness, power, wisdom, presence, creativity, and, most importantly, his tender
care is revealed through nature. This is why we are drawn to spend time in nature and with
animals. Many people find the time to wander around on a beautiful day, playing with their dog
in the grass, or holding their cat are solid strategies to connect with God's loving presence.
Moreover, it’s not only through nature that we can see the beauty of His creation. In the morning,
the moment you open your eyes take time to look at the mirror, observe and wonder yourself.
Appreciate and be grateful for your existence, why? Because we humans are one of God’s
masterpieces of His creation. Can you imagine, how God designed us? He made us after Their
image as Genesis 1:26 says “And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”
That is why we are so blessed, and we must give God the highest praise.
When we see the world through the eyes of God, we realize how amazing it is. God has
created a beautiful world for us to live in and we were given life in order for us to enjoy it.
Hence, it is our responsibility to preserve it for future generations so that they might grow closer
to the Creator as well. It's a God-given blessing. We seek a better understanding of all creation
when we seek God and a deeper grasp of His will. Nothing can compare to seeing the universe
through the creator's eyes. Remember, that through God’s creations, it reflects God Himself. It
demonstrates that God is the all-powerful, wise, orderly, personal, and benevolent Creator.
