I saw some flowers recently that were so beautiful. I had never seen any like them before and asked what they were. Someone said that they are weeds that grow in areas that are grown up from previously plowed fields. Weeds! They were gorgeous. God is amazing to put such beauty in a weed.
"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you- you of little faith!"
- Luke 12: 27-28
Gracious and almighty God, you put so much attention into even the smallest detail of your creation. Your will is perfect so that all things may be beautiful and whole. How sorrowful that creation could not be as you created it to be. Please help us to be gentle with all you have made, including one another. Thank you for the loving care with which you created us and for the way you continue to care for us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
