********************
Do you think of this when you see a rainbow?
I don't. Well, I sometimes do, but mostly, I just admire them for their beauty. I don't think about what stands behind the beauty.
We do this with a lot of things in life -- we admire them for their beauty, or their power, but we don't think about what stands behind them. We don't think about the Creator, when the creation is intended to point to the Creator. God made beauty and love, which is why we ache for these things in the depths of our souls, because we were made for them, but so often we only admire what's on the surface and forget about the One who stands behind them.
So go in search of beauty and wonder in the world, and when you find them, remember to praise the God behind them.
And go and create beauty and love and wonder in the world, and point to the God who inspires. In so doing, we tell the story about the God of love who creates out of love.
Every rainbow is telling a story.
