Today i was walking along the road and i was just looking around me and on the ground, just walking almost mechanically without caring about anything that passed by. Letting my thoughts wonder and thinking about random things. Then i stopped for a moment and looked up. To the Azure blue sky with its puffy, dreamlike white clouds. It was simply beautiful, how the sky was so clean and pure and brightened by the sun. The blue was like velvet, soft and amazing.

It reminded me of God. Isn't that how it is? We walk on everything around us, work, school, focusing on what we're doing, and in the end, we wonder to ourself, " God, where are you?" and we desperately search for a sign. Troubles pile up and everything seems meaningless.

But the answer of all those troubles is so simple. Just stop and look up.

The beauty of His creation shows everywhere, but i guess the sky reminds me the most of it. Beautifully painted, in storms, the dark grey and black clouds are majestic and grim, in sunshine, they're like fluffy cotton candy ready to be eaten. It was made perfect by our creator such that it serves its purpose and gives us water. It was made beautiful and put up for all to see, but how many people ever stop to take a look.

If we stopped to look at God, He'd refresh us.

If only we stopped for just a moment.

Will you stop today?
