see beauty

Are you aware that you live in a fallen world? You see suffering and sin and death and decay. Does it fill your heart with sorrow when you see this evidence? Yet I do not want you to be discouraged. I declared the world to be good before it became a fallen world and it is still my creation. If you look you will see the evidence for this too, in a world that sustains life and growth. Look and see the beauty in this world that is a reflection of my beauty, and see my presence everywhere, intervening in my creation to continually sustain it with favor and blessing. He who has eyes to see, let him see.
