I See JESUS
The new day starts, and I can see Jesus in things surrounding me.
Birds at the feeder, a meal do find, a picture of beauty, its own special kind.
The mountain in a robe of white fog has dressed her overnight.
The dandelion that grew in my yard despite the cold and snow, two beautiful, golden blossoms did show.
The trees standing silent and still inside, those bodies a new job to fill.
A tree that is started from beginning to end is the work of Jesus, not humans, my friend.
The sap from the maple tree is running free and soon sweet maple syrup will be.
The wind great things can do like bring the smell of maple syrup right to you.
Cedar trees all dressed in white dancing to the music of the wind left and right.
A flock of birds in flight, so small, so fragile yet full of fight.
Jesus in nature all around me I see, and in my heart feel Him walking with me.
As winter gives way to the coming of spring, I must be alert to the blessings He will bring.
The grass becomes greener and the flowers most bright for God crafted and fashioned each thing just right.
Black storm clouds are lifting, and the wind is passing by, and the golden sun is shining down from high in the sky.
I don’t need to look hard—Jesus to see, He sits right beside me as I look at the trees.
Look out at nature, it’s a gift and it’s free, only God could create this beauty we see.
A friend who is faithful and true to the end—look out and see Jesus—the one and only True Friend.
Written after Pastor Jerry suggested we look for Jesus in nature.
