Is it possible to see so much of the Lord’s creation that you just don’t find it beautiful anymore? I had this question come to my mind a few days ago when we were flying back to South Africa. It really made me think a lot. I have been blown away by the beauty that Africa has had to offer ever since we got here. When we were still in Asia it was the same. Every day there was something new that would jump out to me. The Lord was constantly showing Himself through His creation. But when I was back home there are a ton of different things that I just walk by that are beautiful, but I could care less about them. Have I become numb to those things? Am I going to become numb at some point on the Race to what the Lord has to offer us? I needed an answer to this question? Can we become numb to the beauty?
There was only one way that I would be able to get a firm answer to this question. I had to take it to God and ask what He thought about it. I did not exactly get what I expected. He told me that whenever I go out looking for Him and expectant to see Him, I will see His beauty. When I am just zooming through life not thinking about the Father at all I will miss everything He has to offer me.
This year I have really taken my time to press into what the Father has for me in this year and in my life after this year. I am constantly seeking to hear His voice. The one thing I want most in life is to know more of Him. Before this year I was in my own lane. I love the Lord and wanted more. I was just not constantly seeking His voice in my day to day life. Because of this I missed out on a lot at home. I have missed out on a lot my whole life. I haven’t taken the time to see creation the way He sees it.
This year has been different. I have taken the time to try and see things the way that the Lord sees them. I want to have his perspective on my life and what I am seeing. Because of this I can’t help but see His beauty. I can’t help but be blown away by the rocks and the trees. When I am constantly after Him, I will constantly see Him.
So, the answer I think is no, you can’t become numb to the beauty of the Fathers creation. This idea goes far deeper than just seeing the Lord creation. It applies to every aspect of my life. When you are constantly after what the Lord has for your life you will see it. The Lord places people in front of you every day that He wants us to love. We often miss those people not because we don’t see them. It is because we are not seeking the Father first. If the first thing we do is seek Him then he will continue to open our eyes to the way that He sees things. This will allow us to love those around us better. It will allow us to see His will for our life. It will let us see the creation the same way He does. There is so much beauty in all the small things that are easy to miss. These small things are often the most beautiful. Take the time to seek the Father and you will be blown away by what He has made.
It has been a few days since I wrote this. I don’t take this lightly. I wanted to take this to the Lord and see what He had to say about what I have heard. Everything was confirmed. We had the chance to go to Kruger National Park here in South Africa. We were there from sunrise to lunch time. This was one of the highlights of my life. We were able to spend the day just hanging out with the Lord in His creation. We were able to see so many animals. We even saw eight white rhinos which. It is rare to just see one of these. In seeing all these different animals, I was able to see the Lords heart in each of them and His attention to detail. I am eager to keep pressing into the Lord. I am eager to continue to hear the Lords voice and will for my life. I am extremely excited to continue to see His beauty as I continue to travel and explore His creation.
ALSO….I am still fundraising. I only have a little over 2k until I am fully funded. Any donation goes a long way to helping me out. It has been an amazing year so far getting the chance to further the Kingdom. Please consider partnering with me in this journey.
