Living in God's Glory

consciously created such circumstances here on earth as would remain favourable to the continuing existence of the human species.

People must, therefore, recognize their Maker through His creation. it was the 7th of september 1982, when i was standing in front of a tree in a hilly region of africa. i had never before seen such a tree. it seemed to be a sign from God, so strange and wonderful it appeared to me. its delicate flowers, chiselled fruit, and geometrically designed leaves seemed to call out that they had not come into being by themselves but had been made by some ineffable Creator. Every tree in this world is, in truth, an example of God’s artistry. however, since i had come across this kind of tree for the first time, i felt more inspired by it. on seeing this strange and beautiful african tree, i spontaneously exclaimed, “it seems that all the things in this world bear the stamp, ‘Made by God’, but then God, having made all these things, hid away from mortal sight. People must, therefore, recognize their Maker through his creation. it is the sight of God’s creation that enables people to discover the presence of God in this world.
