because He made a world worth noticing
I think I love to create
because He does.
He made a world
worth noticing.
Light worth chasing.
Flowers worth pressing.
Stories worth telling.
A world so full of beauty
that sometimes my heart catches
before I even know why.
The way light finds its way
through a window.
The ocean stretching farther
than I can comprehend.
Flowers growing wild
in places no one planted them.
A sky changing colors
just because it can.
There is so much beauty
in this world
that sometimes it chokes me up
to think that He made all of it.
Not just the grand things.
The tiny things, too.
The details no one may ever notice.
The moments that pass
without anyone taking a picture.
What a world He made.
And maybe that's why
something in me comes alive
when I create.
When I photograph it.
When I write it down.
When I make something with my hands.
When I get to hold onto a moment
for just a little longer.
And maybe every time
I make something beautiful,
I'm simply answering
the invitation
He gave me first.
