Beholding the Creator

It is everywhere in France, those great works of art that hang in galleries around the world are live, living out in front of me. From many of Van Gogh's paintings during his stay in France to the great impressionists we are exposed to the beauty of what their eyes beheld. When we hear the symphonies of the greats we close our eyes and see the life and beauty they wanted to express. Poetry is our written express bringing words of glory to many a subject from women, animals, seasons, etc. Such emotion and beauty conveyed.

These all came from men beholding the creation. As I pondered the beauty before me I wondered, what could I create? What beauty can I bring forth if I would spend even more time beholding the Creator? What things would He reveal to me? What beauty would He expose me to? Would I be able to see the beauty He sees in things that I haven't even taken the time to see as beautiful? Would my sense of beauty change?

This is my walk in progress, to behold this magnificent Creator, wonderful Father, beautiful Savior, the living God. What beauty will come from my life? I hope it all looks like Him
