People are like clouds:
Every painted sky a canvas of your grace. If creation still obeys you, So Will I
Beautiful and evolving in the distance, becoming anything we could ever fathom if we choose to. Sometimes we have to stop and wonder what we’re looking at in such awe when we meet/see a person that’s enraptured in such a beautiful shell. Then we have the ones that live smally, the ones that are almost missed by the world because we feel we have nothing to offer.
The truth as you draw closer: We’re just vapor.
Here today. Gone tomorrow.
So transparent when close up that life goes through us and we miss it. We miss the celebration, the excitement, the pain, the triumphs, the joy, the sorrow, the ups, the downs, the small victories, the epiphanies, the love, the freedom, the heartbreak. We miss the things that were intended for good and sit in a pile of our own crap and decide that’s exactly where we have to say.
Humans, like clouds, don’t realize the true head-scratching beauty we are that we even simply exist. We think our blobs, as we may see ourselves, don’t have any beauty to add to the environments around us.
We forget that death isn’t a figment of our imagination. That an end does indeed come so we choose to choose anger over joy. We forget that our life is indeed so insignificantly small in the grand scheme of things so we choose to sit on our passions and desires… afraid. We’re afraid that the world might reject them, we’re afraid that we might fail, we’re afraid that they won’t make sense, we’re afraid to even move.
What if I’m right you may be thinking to yourself. What if the outcome to all the statements above is that you fall flat on your face?
Do it anyway. Our lives may be a small blip on the timeline but while we’re living we get to choose how big that impact will be and where it falls on the spectrum of negative impact to positive.
When we accept that we were created by The Creator and that He lives in us then we, like clouds, can live a life that adds beauty to someone’s sunset and our own.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20
