Oswald is the man.

Isaiah 40:26

"Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing."

Here's what Oswald has to say --- and I love it.

"Nature to a saint is sacramental. If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure in Nature. In every wind that blows, in every night and day of the year, in every sign of the sky, in every blossoming and in every withering of the earth, there is a real coming of God to us if we will simply use our starved imagination to realize it."

Ahhh, PERFECT. I've thought this for so long, and he expresses it marvelously. There's no possible way that I can't see God in nature - maybe that's one reason why I love it so much.

Go outside. Use your imagination. See God. Feel God. Let Him surround you.
