I see You in the sunrise
I see You in the rain
I see You in the laughter
I feel You through the pain
Everything that You have made is beautiful
Oh, my God, I can’t believe my eyes
But in all of this to think that You would think of me
Makes my heart come alive
Your love is like a mighty fire deep inside my bones
I feel like I could climb a thousand mountains all at once
And I never have to wonder if somebody cares for me
I love the Maker
And the Maker loves me
I see You, You are creation
I see the grandness of Your majesty
The universe is singing all Your glory
I can’t believe You live inside of me
Everything that You have made is beautiful
Oh, my God, I can’t believe my eyes
But in all of this to think that You would think of me
Makes my heart come alive
More than just some words upon a page
You’ve shown me in a million ways
But there is one that stands above them all
Hands of Creation on a cross

And God said,”…Let there be light…” (Genesis 1:3) and there was light. A beautiful sun that rises, and shines and brings such joy. Whether it is a cold, brisk day with snow falling down or a warm, humid day with white fluffy clouds. Can’t you see God in the sunlight? I picture Him just beaming down at us, loving on us with His smile. Those are the happy days. Then there are the rainy ones, too. Where nothing goes as planned, tears may fall like rain, and we may just be sad. God is there, too. He is everywhere. He is our Creator, our Maker.
His art fills this earth. After He had to send Adam and Eve out of the perfect garden that He had created for them and the first sin tainted the earth, He could have left it dark and dreary because isn’t that what was deserved? We sin and disappoint yet He created all this beautiful art for us to enjoy. He paints the sky pretty colors as the sun begins to set each night and wakes us with a gorgeous sunrise for all the world to see. At night, He placed little white stars for us to enjoy on a black background and all this was because of you! He had you in mind the entire time that He was making this world.
It’s easy sometimes to tell someone else that God loves them. Right? But do you ever say to yourself, “God really does love me“? Say it now. Are you smiling…yes? I am, just thinking about it. “I love the Maker and the Maker loves me.”
As you continue to listen to this song, I encourage you to close your eyes, shut the world out, and just be with God. Just think about how much He loves being with you and how He can’t wait until your feet hit the floor, just so He can spend time with you. Let this encourage you, my friend.
And don’ t keep this to yourself! It’s too good. This world needs lights like you to spread this hope to them! Who can you reach today? I leave you with His Words.
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
Psalm 113:3
God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day,
and the lesser light to govern the night: He made the stars also.
Genesis 1:16
He is the Maker of Heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them- He remains faithful forever.
Psalm 146:6

Let us pray:
Dear Lord, You are awesome and loving and so precious. You are worthy of praise and worship. You created all of this world with the sound of Your voice. And You were thinking of us all the time. You had each one of our names on Your hand. Thank You for the beauty of this world that we get to enjoy. For the sweet sounds of birds and waves and wind and the warmth of the sun—we praise You. For all You do is perfect. And when we are down and feeling low, all we have to do is look up to the heavens and see that all of this was for us…the sun and stars and moon and trees and flowers. All to show us that You are love. Thank You for the Cross, the ultimate sacrifice so that we could be with You forever. We love You…in Jesus’ name, amen.
