Destiny's Claim

Saturday, December 04, 2004

I'm always facinated by sunrises, especially those in mountainous areas.

The sun peeks through the clouds, rays of light in spectrums of colours illuminating the sky, bringing an end to the darkness and hope to the heart. And though the sun sets every evening, it rises with a grand beauty again the next morning - just less than twelve hours apart.

I try to watch the sunrise, of course many times i miss it. But what amazes me is that God creates each sunrise uniquely and never fails to make it on time. In the way Max Lucado puts it, God could have gotten fed up with you missing this spectacular masterpiece of art each morning for only-He-knows how many years, and said "forget it, there's no point making a new one each morning for these humans who don't even notice it." But He doesn't.

It kinda reminds me of how God is faithful in all things that He does. Even though we fall time and time again (at least i do), but He's still there for me, especially when i need Him the most.

Perhaps some people wouldn't agree with me, and they feel that God isn't with them at all. To those people i'd like to tell you to give Him a chance. It might be hard and you might have had some bad experiences in the past, but nobody's born a believer (and i know that nobody's born an atheist too...)

The sunrise. His mercy. His faithfulness. His grace.

Did you miss it?
