the unseen

cactii babies in the morning light...

how beautiful is that?

but what i didn't see is the iridescent light on the web!

i couldn't see the blues, the pinks, yellows!

in fact i didn't see the web at all when i took this photo

it wasn't until later that i was overwhelmed

to see such simple beauty

we often don't see the unseen as we should

beauty is everywhere around us

we need eyes to see it

our eyes get dim, our hearts get cold, our motion gets routine

i believe if we could see the world as God sees it 

we would be overwhelmed!

the colors would be brilliantly placed everywhere

the light would be sparkling...

on the water, on the leaves, on the trees, on the heads of children

and if we saw it our hearts would melt in worship

it would

we would melt

we would bend of knees 

in gratitude and praise to the One who made it all

open our eyes Lord

we need to see as You do...
