Can We See God’s Complete Love in His Creation?



Bright blue skies with vibrant green hedge maze.Let me ask you a question. When you hold the latest gadget, watch the newest movie, or eat popular food, what goes through your mind? Do you ever wonder where it came from? Do you ever question its existence? How about in a more natural sense…what do you think of when you see a glorious sunset, smell the marvelous fragrance of a blossoming flower, or hear the cry of a newborn baby? Surely, at some point in our life, we have questioned the existence of things, maybe even ourselves. Who created it/us? Where did it/we come from? Well, there is an answer!

 

The Answer

The Bible says:

“For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.” – Romans 1:20

Who is this verse talking about? The Creator of everything, God! Through everything in this world – the trees, the flowers, the sun, moon, and stars, etc. – we can see the handiwork of God. He has created it all. We are without excuse; the Creator has displayed His work right in front of our noses so we may see, admire, and bring Him glory.

“God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, for on it He rested from His work of creation. These are the records of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation at the time that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.” – Genesis 2:3-4

Once again, in this verse, we see that God is the Creator, and not only that, He created everything perfectly!

 

Back In Time

When we think back in history, we can list a whole selection of people who have created something. Henry Ford (assembly line), Louis Braille (Braille system), Benjamin Franklin (bifocal lens), Thomas Edison (light bulb), the list goes on. Each one of these people has been marked down in history as the creator of some invention. Yet, the greatest creation of all time…supposedly, that’s debatable? A creation that couldn’t be more clear, we see it every day, we’re part of it every day, the creation of every natural thing around us, is being questioned about its beginning?

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” – Genesis 1:1

The very first verse in the Bible, the ultimate history book, says: ‘In the beginning’. Before time, before everything we know today, God was there and He created.

Here at FGG Designs, we have one mission, and that is to do everything in excellence for God’s glory! He has given us resources with which we are able to make things.

Our business has a wide variety of supplies that we use. Since I have quite a selection of areas in which I work, I use a lot of different tools. Pens, paper, a camera, a computer, fire, the list goes on. Each of these things is a way in which I can bring glory to God. One of my favorite ways to capture the beauty of God’s creation is through the eye of my camera. This man-made object can never truly capture the magnificence of God’s handiwork. In my post-processing, I adjust my photos in a way that best portrays what I saw.

It is amazing to think the Lord could have put us on this earth as mere inanimate objects. Yet, He chose to give us life. He gave us ears, eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a sense of touch all so that we can glorify Him in all that we hear, see, smell, say, and feel! What a blessing it is to be a part of His wonderful creation.

Let us not spend our time questioning where we came from, for that is clear. Instead, let us use this little time we have on earth to bring glory and honor to Whom it is due; Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, the Creator of us all!
