God Adores Creation

November 11, 2011

People for Others’ Blog tends to share powerful prayers that I often have not heard before. Here is one they shared from St. Francis Assisi that reminds us God’s love for his creation.

How can I have been this blinkered?

I think God might be a little prejudiced.

For once He asked me to join Him on a walk

through this world,

and we gazed into every heart on this earth,

and I noticed He lingered a bit longer

before any face that was

weeping,

and before any eyes that were

laughing.

And sometimes when we passed

a soul in worship

To read the rest….

It matters to God if we are weeping or laughing or somberly waiting.
