God is Everywhere!

Just a few simple words that came to me as I was praying last week about God in our everyday lives...

God made the universe and everything in it. He created the desires within us that make beautiful things (poetry, music, paintings, etc.), and he also created the individual ways that we respond to such beauty. He created the materials that we use to make everything we use and wear (cars, clothes, stoves, etc.). He created our dogs and cats which are cute little furry balls of love to make us smile when we come home from work. And he created each one of us - every line in our fingerprints, every speck of pigment in our eyes, every hair on our body. Just think - every time you look into someone else's eyes, you are looking into a living breathing soul created by God. If they are a believer, you are essentially looking at God himself because he lives inside our souls. But even the eyes of unbelieving souls contain an echo of the Lord because he created them, and everyone knows that when you create something a piece of you will always live inside that work. So, you are essentially walking on holy ground everywhere you tread on this Earth! It is impossible to be physically far from God at any point in time.
