\u00a0I picture Him just beaming down at us, loving on us with His smile. \u00a0Those are the happy days. \u00a0Then there are the rainy ones, too. \u00a0Where nothing goes as planned, tears may fall like rain, and we may just be sad. \u00a0God is there, too. \u00a0He is everywhere. \u00a0He is our Creator, our Maker.<\/p>\n<p>His art fills this earth. \u00a0After 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&#8217;t that what was deserved? \u00a0We sin and disappoint yet He created all this beautiful art for us to enjoy. \u00a0He 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. \u00a0At night, He placed little white stars for us to enjoy on a black background and all this was because of you! \u00a0He had you in mind the entire time that He was making this world.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy sometimes to tell someone else that God loves them. \u00a0Right?
