Appearance of Wildflowers

If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

Matthew 6:30-33 (The Message)

Believe and You Will See

The world tells you, "You need to see it to believe it." But God says just the opposite. Only as you believe it will you ever see it. You've got to look through the eyes of faith and see it. Once you see it by faith, it can come into existence in the physical world.

Joel Osteen

God's Sunshine

Never once since the world began

Has the sun ever stopped his shining.

His face very often we could not see,

And we grumbled at his inconstancy;

But the clouds were really to blame, not he,

For behind them, he was shining.
And so - behind life's darkest clouds

God's love is always shining.

We veil it at times with our faithless fears,

And darken our sight with our foolish tears,

But in time the atmosphere always clears,

For his love is always shining.
