What if God made the world in black and white? Have you ever thought of seeing no colors around you? Imagine no red, no blue, no yellow, no lavender or no orange flowers to uplift your soul. No green, green grasses and leaves to refresh your eyes. No yellow sun, no blue sky contrasting with the white, fluffy clouds to warm your heart. No brown, black or gray dogs and cats with their blue or green eyes that add to our delight in them.
No painted cars, jeepneys, and buses to make our streets not boring. No colorful computer monitors to add interest to what we are doing. Not even colorful pictures to look at as we reminisce the wonderful moments we had or as we read the books we enjoy. No colorful paints to put on our houses, furnitures, and fabrics to welcome us at the end of the day and greet us when we wake up in the morning. No different shades of clothes to choose from. Not even colorful food to build our appetite.
And when we go on a fieldtrip or outing. No brown tree trunks and branches with green leaves and sometimes yellow or orange flowers. No golden corns nor rice plants to give beauty to the fields. No butterflies with different shades to appreciate. No brown big mountains, no blue bodies of water, no flying birds of different colors to relax our minds. And so on and on and on . . .
WOW! A WORLD IN BLACK AND WHITE SURE IS SOOOOOO BORING AND GLOOMY!
I guess that is why God created the world in full color. He thought man should live in an interesting, beautiful and alive world. He uses even this simple thing to tell us how much He loves us. He uplifts our soul through it. He shows He really cares and wants to cheer you up. God is a happy God. He wants to share to you His happiness through the colorful, wonderful world you live in. So, the next time you open your eyes, appreciate the different shades of color you see and, my golly, THANK GOD FOR THEM!
