That is the wonderful thing about the Lord’s creation and His power. All of us have the power to “see” God’s creations, no matter where we live or our teachings. If we look, we can see God’s creations and how masterfully they were made. Only a fool would come to believe it is all circumstance.

So, even without any teachings, we can understand that there is something that created this place. It is a first step to God and then with an open heart we will find the way to Him if we really want to.

Just look at nature - see how the animals each know to care for their young, know how to make their nests. This is all the masterful work of God and it shows love since each is so very different but masterfully make for their lives here. Then just look at an insect and see how it is made for its life. Then look around at the beauty in a flower, a dog’s eyes and the wonderful loyalty a simple animal provides. Then see the beauty of the design in all of it.

A true loving artist’s handiwork and it was given for man to be over.

If we can see this - what else is there to see and understand? This is just the very beginning.

We should never let man take this path to God away from us by man’s actions. Man is a mere ant, we are looking for the Creator of the universe and the absolute beauty is that we can talk directly to the Master of the Universe through prayer.

And then, some prefer trash and the dwelling in the gutter to looking above at the Master and what He offers?

So true. Most of all, we have to be open to Him. We'll never see Him if we close our eyes.
