His greatest work is YOU.

Was it only a few weeks ago that I was in Breckenridge, CO, surrounded by majestic mountains?  May as well have been a year ago, for now I am on the other side of my world, taking in the sight of an endless sea.

I look out now, rather than up, and am witness to a beautiful blue expanse.

There I felt the green of the world, here I feel the blue.

Both priceless priveledges, enough to leave me breathless.

I am brought to thoughts of the Creator.  Creation reflects HIS majesty, HIS endless presence, they reflect HIM.

In our world, the Creator is often forgotten, and the creation glorified.

I forget.  I see a glorious sunset, complete with magenta sky and golden clouds, and just witness.  I don't say, "Wow, Lord, you must be some kind of gorgeous to be able to come up with a sky like that."

Creations are a dingy reflection of their creator.  We make what we know, what we have seen.  We make what we are made of.

And if our God can make the mountains stretching high, He must be big.

If He can make the oceans so wide, He must be vast.

If He can make the sky so complex in its beauty, clouds constantly changing shape and the atmosphere it's colors:  gray, blue, pink, then he must be able to fit in every hidden crevice of our hearts.

He is Giant, this God of ours, He made all we see, whether it be directly or through the wisdom He gave to man, and His greatest work, the crowning glory of His efforts is YOU.

He knows you, how you tick, what you desire, and even more hopeful, He knows how to satisfy those things that burn within your heart.

Today, let's let Him in.

Verses that fill my mind today:  Romans 1:21,25 ; Ps 139:14 ; Ps 37:4
