Lesson

A lesson too hard to learn? Never. It might take time. It might take a lot of failures. It might cause a lot of pains. But it definitely takes more than one man to learn. By totally relying on the one and only God, we will sing victory over sin and glory to God.

Big picture and little details

The other day I saw a photographer taking macro photo of flowers by the road side. It reminds me of the photos that I have seen taken of nature. They are basically in two categories. One is the macro photos and the other is the view of something big like the sunset, and stuff.

I found both really beautiful and relaxing to look at. Through the macro photos we see the beauty hidden in the little details, which we may not always notice. From the bigger picture, we see the awesomeness when little details come together.

In our life, sometimes we see the beauty of the little details but we forget what it means when the small things work together. Other time we admire the result of the working together of small things, but we forget to appreciate each of the small things.

We enjoy in some events that happen in our life, and we suffer through the others. However, when we look back, when we see the bigger picture, when we see how those incidents work together to shape ourselves, then we realise how beautiful it is.

God has created this world with atoms, but when they work together, they form creatures with different functions, with different looks, with different purposes. This world is beautiful both from the macro view and the scenery view.
