While wandering the woods I noticed a lot, loupe and microscope, lenses or not. The whole of it is intricately and precisely woven together. A fly goes into a trillium, made to smell perfectly rotten to it, and it’s pollinated. Then an ant comes along later, attracted by an oil coating on the seeds, and carries the seed away. And in the soil where this ant takes the seed, many microorganisms like fungi make the perfect habitat (kind of like a human heart when it’s ready for a seed). The seed becomes a flower. And that’s just the basic explanation.
Another thing I noticed out there, is close up everything has a reflective iridescence to it. Something that only made sense to me years later on a very grand scale. I had spent years studying nature and I did look for clues about a Creator in it. I can’t believe all of this perfection came from nothing. There had to be something existing, a Miracle you could say. A chaotic, evil entity would never be able to make this. But a good and perfect God certainly could.
Unfortunately, nature didn’t finish the job for me. My Creator remained unnamed, unknown. I went through years with spiritualities and beliefs that I personally thought were the best for me. It’s a 7 minute video, but if you want to know how I ended up facing both actual demons, holy angels, and seeing God you can view it here: My testimony of Victory over a demon, demonic visions and voice hearing. The TL/DR is I used divination to contact the “dead”, my dead person turned out to be an actual fallen angel, and I saw through the veil the literal presence of God and His many holy angels keeping this demon from hurting me further. And I also saw the glory of God, radiating and flowing over and around them. Now I know why creation is so reflective. When He makes a new heavens and a new earth and His glory fills this place, this place is going to be quite shimmering to say the least. Maybe you’re not having a demon harass you 24/7, but..
Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Most people do. The Bible says God is perfectly Good. And He has given us a standard in the ten commandments. Do you meet it? 1. Do you put God first in your life and love him, and your neighbors, and even your enemies? 2. Do you only worship Him? 3. Do you use “god” or Jesus or His name in swearing or carelessly? 4. Do you keep Sabbath? 5. Do you respect your elders? 6. Have you ever even thought about revenge or character assassination, or even done so? 7. If you’re married, have you lusted after someone who isn’t your spouse, or worse? 8. Have you ever stolen anything or taken advantage of someone? 9. Have you told a lie ever? 10. Do you covet; do you always need more stuff? If you’re honest, like me, you may be guilty of every single one of these. Which means we deserve judgement and have lost our connection to God and the eternal life we were made for.
But because of this, God incarnated on earth as Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. The only man to ever not break any of these commandments. He took our judgement and punishment on the cross for us all who would believe in Him. He made The Way for us to be reconnected to Him, and to live eternally in a life that will be free from wickedness and full of blessings we cannot even imagine – and never a dull moment.
God wants this relationship with you, to adopt you, to give you new life. He values you even more than a trillium or a sparrow, and look at the care and detail He put into those, into 10s of thousands of those creations we share this earth with!
