Beautiful Things

Picture this. The sky is gray. Rain is falling, and you trip in a mud puddle. You had friends at your house last night and your mom is mad that they left your room messy. You can’t see anything beautiful around you. Now close your eyes. Say this name: Jesus. Now open them, and look again. Do you see that little spot of blue sky, that single ray of light sneaking through the clouds? Do you notice the beautiful water drops resting on the bushes? Remember all the fun you had with the friends who made the mess? We can always find something beautiful if we look for it.

Jesus, when I say your name, I see beautiful things all around me. Thank you for making such awesome things.
