“Naturalists feel closest to God when outdoors. Something inside their souls comes alive when they are surrounded by God’s splendor in nature. God’s Creation becoming a classroom to teach about God’s rhythm, timing, and the seasons of life and death.”
The Heavens declare the Glory of God; the Skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2
I life up my eyes to the Hills—where does my help come from? Psalm 121:1
God, the Lord, created the Heavens and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. Isaiah 42:5
Hear the sound of the Lord God as He walks in the Garden in the cool of the day. Genesis 3:8
“Beloved, you will never be able to capture all My Beauty with your camera. What you are amazed by is simply the stroke of My Finger; I can do this and so much more anytime I please. I delight in giving this pleasure to you. I can provide something even greater and more beautiful for you tomorrow. Receive what I have created for you, something no one else has even seen, for many have walked past and not noticed…as this was just for you.”
Allow your soul to be awakened by these little love notes from your Beloved.
“Nature like a Prayer Closet.
Wind Chimes like Church Bells.
Bird Song like Choir.
Rain like Holy Water.
Wind like the Spirit.”
