Every experience of the “WOW:” a majestic waterfall, a quiet brook, a stunningly beautiful woman, a sleeping baby or a fabulous dessert, are simply the fragrant aroma of His presence nearby.

To appreciate beauty is to appreciate its Artist. Our love for God should naturally be amplified in our love of all that He has made. Romantic love, the love of a mother for her baby, the love of life itself are wonderful extensions of our love for the Creator. God is a river of delights. What a privilege it is to live in His garden, to eat the fruit of His trees, and play in the oceans of His love.

“How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights!” Song of Songs 7.6 “Conversations Within” ts 2/7/2017
