God is a creative artist

Jon Acuff writes beautifully this morning about God's love of beauty.

“The world didn’t have to be beautiful.”

Have you ever thought about that?

Jellyfish didn’t need to look like canopied dreams, flying underwater with a grace that shames ballet dancers.

Sunsets didn’t have to look like paint sets exploded against the wall, slowly falling down the horizon.

The tide on this planet didn’t need to dance with the pull of a glowing sphere thousands of miles away.

God didn’t have to make the world beautiful.
