Description

This piece was inspired by the memories of my maternal grandparent's home. They lived in the country surrounded by small farms, rolling hills, and forests. Every season was beautiful, but winter was pristine with the glistening snow, icy brooks, and the bare trees that cast their colorful shadows across the ground.

"Evident" is also inspired by James 1:17:

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

There are so many aspects of life that are evidence of God's existence- these are gifts He gives us. Perhaps the most evident proof of God is life itself. Have you ever really thought about how many small miracles have to occur for life to not only exist but to also persist? Consider our uniqueness as humans- there is no possibility of someone being born exactly like you. Even identical twins are not exact clones of each other. Every fiber of our being is intricately woven together. These elaborate details are not the result of chance adaptations, but clear evidence of a Higher Power. In our arrogance we forget that we do not make our own heart beat or our lungs breathe. The multitude of gifts God bestows to us makes His presence evident.
