Spiritual Peace and Nature

There can be little debate that getting back to nature can put you in touch with your spiritual condition in ways that being "in the noise" can't. Seeing the graces of creation,such as the mountain view I am enjoying, accents what is transcendent and eternal about us. Deep inside we resonate with the wonders of God, and we desire to know and be known. We are so small...and yet we read,"who can separate is from the love of God?" Christ offers to all true spiritual peace,a kind that is so settling. We can be free from dread and confusion, and embrace in an unashamed way the power of the Creating God who calls us by name not to be just "religious" or "nice" but to be saved. A view of the seen is but a doorway to what is unseen. See, and pray...seek and find. "I look up to the hills, from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord."
