things to pay attention to

flowerais:

• the tiny specks of colour in their eyes
• the bass and background sounds in a song
• starlight on a cloudy night
• how someone looks when they think nobody can see them
• the mannerisms of a stranger
• real meanings behind spoken words
• subtle facial expressions which last a second
• the underlying flavours in food
• emotions that a friend is trying to hide
• little lights in a sleeping city
• flowers growing through cracks in the pavement
• the mixed colour palette in a piece of art
• the melody of someone’s voice

Pay attention to the little hidden things.

God lives in the unseen and overlooked, really– in things that are hidden and forgotten. It is in these humble things that He can be specially found and honored. For He sees and loves all these things in life, and in us… after all, He is the One who brought them all into being. Every tiny flower, every moment of music, every minuscule detail of a face or hand or voice, every color or scent or flavor– it all first originated in the heart of God. And that’s deeply moving to realize.

Treasure the small beauties and joys in this life. Let them lift your heart higher, to the hope of heaven, where such beauties are magnified ineffably in their Creator forever.
