church tonight was interesting. i went to the austin stone. the guy talked about Christmas. not only is it the celebration of Jesus' birthday, its the day when God came to us. all other religions in the world, every last one, is based on the idea of us pursuing and chasing god. except for christianity, where He continuously and relentlessly pursues and loves us. how wonderful.
i mean honestly, what in the world would make Him want me? what would cause Him to desire and love me?
it must be because of what's inside. i must be beautiful. because i am His creation, and He makes everything glorious. if He made me, which He did, then i am beautiful.
the same is true of you. there is something deep inside of you that causes Him to so greatly desire you. He created you the way He did for a purpose, He created a yearning in each and every one of our hearts for something greater. something greater than this world, greater than ourselves. most people spend a lifetime ignoring this desire, or misinterpreting it. but the Truth is, that this is one thing that can not go on overlooked; the beauty within every one of us that causes Him, to pursue us.
my goal in taking photos is to capture what that is, to each individual, with every tree. He created everything in a beautiful way. He has infused every single one of us with beauty, and my goal is to capture it.
This is beautiful writing. i'm pleased you are able to feel like this. you are certainly beautiful inside and out. and your photography i can be sure is a God given gift.
