Such a Beautiful Sky

Take a moment to look around and notice all of your blessings.  Take a look around and notice that God has brought you a mighty long way.  Take a moment and see that everything that you need is right in front of you.  There is so much to give thanks for that if you had a thousand tongues you could not praise God enough.  When the praises go up, the blessings come down.  Be blessed today!

Good day to you all! If you find yourself in the middle of the storm without an umbrella just know that God does some of His best work in the rain. Remember if there was no rain, the sky would be devoid of rainbows.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Psalm 50:2

There is something to be said about the beauty of the sky when the sun is rising and when the sun is about to set.  The sky is so beautiful that it would be hard to doubt that there is a God in Heaven who created it all.  There is such a beautiful array of blues that mix with purple and oranges that blend with blues.  An untrained photographer would not have any trouble shooting a perfect shot of sky during dusk or dawn. Upon closer examination of what makes such a beautiful sky we find something very interesting.  When the sun is rising or setting the earth is an angle where the sunlight reflects off of all of the pollution in the air, and it is the reflection and the refraction of the sun’s rays that create the beautiful colors that we see.  It is the pollution in the sky that contributes to making the sky as beautiful as it is.

Dear Reader I want to encourage you to embrace your beauty.  That does not mean to be vain, but it does mean that there is beauty in you despite what you have been through.  The world may see the beautiful creation that you are, but upon further inspection if they only knew what God had used to bring that beauty out.  If they only knew what it took to bring out that smile every day.  If they only knew what tears had to fall in order to build up your strength.  Dear Reader right now you may feel like all of the pollution that is in your life is making your situation ugly.  However, let me tell you that what may be pollution to you, God is reflecting to show someone a beautiful sky.  What may seem like tough times for you, God is showing someone His power and grace through your situation.  Dear Reader there is a ribbon in the sky for you because God loves you so.  Do not give up on you!  Do not give up on love! Your sun is not setting, your sun is rising and someone watching see’s such a beautiful sky in you!

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
