Have you ever tried to explain what a sunset looks like to someone who has never seen one, or maybe a sunrise? What if a blind person walked up to you and asked you to tell them what it looks like. What would you say? They wouldn't know the colors that are so intense or how a sunset can symbolize the most gentle form of an all powerful God! So why can sunsets stun you or make you cry because of raw beauty? Why does everyone stop, turn and stare when the sun gently dips below the horizon?
 I believe that a sunset was made to give you just a very small glimpse of the beauty of heaven.  A sunset is perfect, no one can change the colors, no one can rush it, and even Bill Gates can't buy a sunset. The sunset is free to do what God made it to do, put us in utter awe. In a way a sunset is similar to its Creator, it is so beautiful, so perfect, yet a sunset is fleeting. a sunset will eventually give way to the night. God is never fleeting, He will not give way to the darkness, He is always light. There is so much more to God then there is to a sunset. God loves, He IS love. He cares for us. Like a sunset God does not need anyone. He wants us! God is not more powerful if I love Him or not, God does not need to give us the beauty of sunsets and sunrises. He wants to. God loves us so much that He gives us a sunset, the stars, the moon, to show us how much He loves us. are you understanding this? He. Loves. You. He loves the fact that I love His stars, His sunsets. God wants us to look at a sunset and feel how much He loves us. It's like with every sunset He is saying, " hey did you see that?  See how beautiful that is? I love you way more then that sunset."   He loves me. He wants me. He loves You. He wants you. I don't know about you but that puts me in more awe then a sunset ever will. God is love.

soli deo gloria, Annie.
