Photo Hunt: Colorful

Col­or­ful

“Has any­one by fuss­ing in front of the mir­ror ever got­ten taller by so much as an inch? All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much dif­fer­ence? Instead of look­ing at the fash­ions, walk out into the fields and look at the wild­flow­ers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the coun­try look shabby along­side them.

“If God gives such atten­tion to the appear­ance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m try­ing to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so pre­oc­cu­pied with get­ting, so you can respond to God’s giv­ing. Peo­ple who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about miss­ing out. You’ll find all your every­day human con­cerns will be met.
