Beautiful seems lacking, a tinge pathetic. Breathtaking comes a wee bit closer, yet still falls short. Admittedly, my vocabulary cannot do justice in describing the landscape that flew past my window. While driving through mountainous Japanese countryside, we encountered the glory of God unveiling itself through nature. Lush greenery, flooded rice paddies, and bear hidden from view bowed in respect as our car curved along the road we shared. The mist whispered as it climbed the humble giants which dwarfed houses nestled in valleys.
I felt as if I were being trusted with a secret. I was fully aware that only a small percentage of people would ever share this view with me. Completely honored to see this world before me, this new home of mine, I prayed for His presence to be made known. Such beautiful people living in such a beautiful land did not know the Beautiful One.
