supernatural

in romans it says that since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

it states that what has been made by God reveals His nature fully to us completely absent of supernatural proof.

when Jesus is raised from the dead, Thomas is unbelieving and doubting and refuses to believe until he sees with his own eyes, and when Jesus encounters him, he says, blessed is he who doesn't see yet believes.

through creation and all that is natural God has revealed himself to us, even to the extent of sending his son through natural birth to manifest the exact representation of God on earth in natural form.

so, absent of everything that is supernatural, my question is why are there those who do not believe, even though everything has been revealed to us naturally so that we can believe, or so as it says that we are without excuse.

and i do say we do not have an excuse for not believing in what has been revealed by God.

but, God has made everyone in his image and as well has revealed his character and will through us as human beings on earth along with all creation, he has made us in a way that when we do see and encounter the characteristics and nature of God through the natural we conclude that there is more beyond what the eye sees, the ear hears and heart understands.

therefore, God is happy to reveal himself beyond what is natural, for all time he has been happy to be a God who encounters his children in an unexplainable way.

his word speaks of testimony after testimony of what has happened, happening, and what he wants to do again.

God has fully revealed his character, his divine power and attributes, through everything that is natural.

nature displays who He is and ultimately reveals the cry in our heart that says, there must be more.

so what is natural draws us into He who is supernatural.

let us draw close to Him, and He will draw close to us.

He shows his love supernaturally and intimately.

nature is a sign that points to the wonder of his love.

nature is an expression of a powerful loving God who longs to share his Glory.

the natural is a display of expression and creativity that draws us to the supernatural creator, the one who desires relationship and not religion.

honestly i cannot find the right words to express this except to try and explain that nature is a natural experience that points to a super-nature of a supernatural experience.

its impossible for me to try and describe supernatural things without supernatural terms.

another thought is that, completely absent from experience with God, nature itself points to a greater experience that is waiting and wanting to happen to you and me.

and that experience is God.

we all know, wether we realize or not, that there is more than just this world in which we live in, but i think its when we accept that known truth, and stop rejecting it, that our hearts are open and available to be encountered by His unconditional, supernatural, experiential, unquenchable, unquestionable, unrelenting love.

Peace of Christ go with you everywhere you go, and blessings on those who seek the Lord!
