Soft Intensity

It's early Sunday morning; the sun is creeping its way up shedding light on an incredible landscape. The snow blankets the ground, branches, and needles like a protective coating from the harsh reality of the strong winter winds.

The squirrels romp, the birds seem to be enjoying ariel maneuvres as the vast Northwoods displays God's creativity and care. This is a moment in time, a moment God gives us to slow down and absorb the beauty.

An artist could try and capture the moment, but only God could create such beauty. Words are inadequate and human understanding quite limited.

Everything about this moment silently displays the soft intensity of God, my Father who has given us such beautiful gifts for our pleasure.
So often the business of life robs us of this beautiful soft intensity that God displays on a regular basis.

Perhaps we all need to hit the pause button, sit with a cup of coffee/tea and enjoy the moment before going on to our ordinarily distracted lives. Those who take time to consider God, appreciate God and those who do not experience God have not taken the time to know Him or acknowledge what He has done and is doing.

God's soft intensity is a bold statement of fact. I hope your paying attention.
