I love nature, it gives me peace of mind.Whenever I sit alone and looking at the nature I always think, there is a power behind all this creation. All the surrounding environment, universe, planets everything. There are some of my memories, when I would take walks, sat alone in the nature, listening to the sound of birds, beauty of flowers, plants; I felt his presence in everything.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence,see how nature trees, flowers, grass grows in silence, see the stars, the moon, the sun, how they move in silence. We need silence to be able to touch souls.With the silence of mind we can hear the voice of God in woods, water ways, in bird sing, wind, and beautiful color of flowers. Just think for a moment of all that images from nature like fire, water, wind, earth, sun, light, stars and a lot more. Think about limit of universe. There is a huge power behind all this. The presence of God also symbolized by the thunder and lightning. God is hiding behind everything in unfolding of flower, rain from clouds, plant from seed, wings of every bird, in eyes of animal, in sings of birds, in colorful wings of butterfly, in each and everything.Knowing trees we understand the meaning of patience, knowing grass we can appreciate persistence. Sometimes I think he is playing hide and seek with us. Our role is only to seek him from everything. He is present in everything in nature.If we want we can find him in his own creation.Reading about nature is fine but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, we can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.Keep you love of nature for that is the true way to understand more and more.
Oh lord! We thank you from our heart for your presence in our lives in everything surrounding us. Thank you for so many blessings upon us
