Carry My Soul: Finding God In His Creation

  • September 13, 2018
  • Glass Wright
2 min read

Isn’t it amazing how much of God we see in nature? A true testament that an artist cannot be separated from his work. Earth must surely be His most beautiful creation, and us His most prized masterpiece.

The air in the plane felt heavy; buzzing with familial chatter, the crinkle of chip packets and rowdy kids. I had a window seat- anywhere else and I’m not a happy traveler. This location allowed me to tune out the normality of flying, and be consumed by my thoughts.

I leaned my head against the glass, and felt its warmth seep into my hair. The rays reached across the heavens like fingers and lay on my skin; I often thought that’s what the hands of God would feel like, had they caressed my face. I smiled, and drifted.

When I was here, I felt safe. It seemed strange as to why, but for me, it was a chance to lose myself…but also find myself at the same time. The incomprehensible height had a metaphoric effect on me- almost like with each climbing meter into the unknown, a little more of the life I had below was left behind- temporarily, but an escape from the fickleness of everyday routine was necessary sometimes. I could be purged of all fears and burdens and guilt…I could just exist.

I imagined myself dancing amongst those feathery clouds…and longed to connect with something greater, with my Maker- the designer of such beauty. His angels would twirl me around in the candy floss, I would bounce off the sun’s arms and cascade into a sea of blue; and for the first time in a long time, I would feel free. Is that what birds witness? Do they get to behold the face of the Father, and is that why they whistle His songs?

I sometimes wondered how beautiful His view must be, and just how much fun He must have painting rainbows and pouring out rain- even throwing out bolts of lightning. Isn’t it amazing how much of God we see in nature? A true testament that an artist cannot be separated from his work. Earth must surely be His most beautiful creation, and us His most prized masterpiece.

If I did not have this faith, I would never have been able to feel such grace; such comfort from my life dangling in midair.

I knew. I was in good hands.

Glass Wright

I’m a mid-twenty-something female writer of fiction and prose. Writing gets me through my existential crisis of trying to balance the art of being a lawyer by day but writer by passion. I want to be known for my heart, so my work is influenced by three things: God, Love & Travel. Welcome to my world- I hope you can grow to love it as well.

Unfiltered Christianity

Christianity without the filters...

Unfiltered Christianity is for all of those people who are tired of blind religion and all the fakeness. It is for those people who want to live a full, honest and freedom filled life in God. It isn’t a platform to argue theology, there are many platforms and churches for that, but it’s a platform that will provide a space for people to be real, vulnerable and to express themselves- flaws and all.
