Master Designer

Photo by Heidi Beukema Hurley
Maybe it's my art-trained eye, but I tend to see design in everything around me. Symmetry, patterns, positive and negative spaces, lights and darks creating affects where color doesn't exist.

Or is it that God intended His creation to reflect beauty and design? Unlike me who uses her eyes and hands to make something out of nothing, the Master Designer spoke all He made into being. How fitting of The Word!

This past weekend seemed horrible, to put it bluntly. My little world spun out of control. Pattern, beauty, symmetry, design? Not visible to me until I washed my eyes with tears, called out to God, and took a ride. Then I saw it all around me. God's reminders. His creations shouting from both sides of the road!

This same God Who spoke design, patterns, symmetry, and positive and negative spaces into being also cares about my broken heart. May I never forget that. He is interested in every detail. And while my world seems to spiral out of control, His does not. I can rest in Him. Trust Him. See in the negatives the beauty and purpose of the positives.

    Beautiful way of presenting, once again, that our God is not only the God of beauty, but the Lord of our universe, and especially of our at times, tears stained moments. Blessings - Fran

    It is a great privilege to serve such a great God! I'm learning more and more daily, and I'll be 75 next week!

      Wow, Jean! So true. May we never stop learning. The day that's done, we'll be standing before the Creator in His Heaven. Can't wait!

      Thank you, Seeking One. And your ID reminds me of that Bible verse that says if we seek, we will find. God wants so much to be with us and help us along the journey.
