Why did God create a world that is not only functional, but extraordinarily poetic and lovely in every way? <\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span> <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAuthor <\/span>Fulton J. Sheen<\/span><\/a> says it is the same reason that we find it hard to keep a secret. <\/i><\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/span> <\/div>\n
\u201cGood things are hard to keep. The rose is good, and tells its secret in perfume. The sun is good, and tells its secret in light and heart\u2026.God cannot keep the secret of His love and the telling of it was his creation.\u201d<\/i>
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn order to fully appreciate the nature of the Creator, we need to become students of His creation. We need to take joy in the intricate details of the world around us We need to see the fashion of the rocks, plants, trees and hills around us. Despite man\u2019s continued use of the planet, beauty is all around us if only we will open our eyes to it. To watch the master is to learn the master\u2019s heart.<\/i>\n

<\/p><\/span>Creation is amazing, but re-creation is the most spectacular event of all. God is no lonely Maytag repairman. He is a busy Mr. Fix-It, a Jack-of-all-trades, a Handyman of the Human Heart. He can take the most broken piece of pottery and put it together again. No condition, no misery, no failure is too much <\/i>for the wondrous Creator who knows no end to His touch.\n

<\/p><\/span><\/a>Creation is not finished. At this very moment Scripture reminds us that \u201cHe is preparing a home for us.\u201d<\/i> Like a masterpiece behind the shroud, he will one day unveil it to all His children.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/span> <\/div>\n
And it will be a wonder.<\/span><\/div>\n
