There are days in this world where you are reminded just how beautiful this place can be. Looking outside at the sunshine and white sprawling clouds rolling by, the warmth and the expanse of sky around us. Truly the work of a loving creator. He gave us a gift, giving us life and the freedom to live it. It's times like these I am reminded that life is beautiful, and when you choose Him, life is everlasting.
We have been on this earth for thousands of years. Mankind has seen disaster, war, famine, plague, tyranny, and the despair that follows unspeakable evil. Yet, we are still here. The sky is still blue, the rain is still cool, and the beauty is still here if you know where to look. Many people over the years have broken down, thinking the end was upon them, and there was no hope to recover from such terrible things. In that moment of despair, a hand reaches down and picks mankind up and sets us back on our feet. The hand is one that is always there, provided the one in need knows where to look.
God uses us for purposes we don't quite understand. There are those who reject Him for that, only seeing the darkness of the world. History shows us that left alone, those people only lead themselves further into the dark. I've seen that darkness first hand. But when I trusted God to open my eyes, it was like a blinding light consuming the darkness and filling my soul. No matter how thick the darkness is coming after me, there is always a light bright enough to filter through.
That is how the Lord battles Satan and keeps his evils from penetrating our souls. When you trust Him, His protection never fails. No matter what comes at you, always remember the beauty of God and His work. It is our duty to share that beauty, and teach the lost to live again through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Unlike the darkness of Satan, the light of God knows no bounds. With Him, the beauty of life becomes everlasting.
