From Shuyi's blog:

I saw the earth lit up. It didn't just happened suddenly. It was as if God turned the knob a little by little until the earth was fully lit up then He proceeded to turn the knob the other way round until darkness.

Because of His actions, I saw the sky changed in color. Black, dark blue, light blue, pink, orange and ta-da! I suddenly realized I could see the world around me in all its colorful splendor.

I can only imagine a wonderful God who would design something so beautiful.

Reminded of this video:


Great post! And refreshed and reminded again that in the midst of all our feelings of troubles and lousiness, it does wonders to the soul to go out and take a look at God's creation once in a while. Or actually, as often as needed. :)

I remember the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer observing, during World War II, the still-pristine beauty of the forests of his ruined Germany. And he remembered that even in the middle of the most devastating war the world had ever known, God's creation and beauty still shone as a symbol of hope above all the damage and destruction that mankind could wage.

Ok, so Europe in WWII didn't really have nukes then (thank God). :) But hey, even Chernobyl now has a beautiful undisturbed forest where no man literally dares to tread. (Just read Nat Geo to find out more.) So maybe in the long run, even if humans were to nuke everything... God's creation would still win out in the end.

Comforting thought. "The earth is the LORD's and everything in it."

Awaken in me once again a sense of childlike wonder, Lord.
