Forgetting Our God

So I believe that I am one to openly admit my mistakes when they come up. One thing that I feel I have been failing at lately is my constantly forgetfulness of God's beauty all around me. By this I do not mean just the beauty of nature. I think out of all things beautiful, that God made, this is the one thing that I notice the most. You could ask any of my friends and they would probably tell you that I love being out side more than anything. I will fail tests to just spend some time on a walk or laying in the Willow Bowl. The beauty of nature is hardly ever forgotten by me. I can look at pictures for hours if it is to cold to go outside. Yes I might be obsessive but God did make it so I have the right to sit in awe of His beauty. (OK so all of that was a side note, ha.)

The beauty that I often forget to thank God for is the beauty of the ones that mean the most to me. I see or think about my friends everyday and I seldom look at them with the eyes of God. This deeply troubles me. These people in my life mean the world to me and instead of thanking my Savior for putting them in my life and for making them the most beautiful creation in the world I push it aside and treat them like any other humankind would. I should make them feel constantly loved and like a child of God. Who am I to treat God's creation like nothing special?

God is beyond anything that we could ever imagine and His creation is so beautiful, yet we still forget our purpose in life. Our purpose to love his creation so deeply that He is moved. With all of these beautiful reminders around us like the sunsets, stars, people, etc... it should be so easy, but we still are taken away by things of this world. I hate that. I want to love with all of my heart, I want to move Gods heart, and I want to be a change in this world for God's glory.
