For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. ~1 Corinthians 13:12
Tiny droplet
Clinging After
Rain has passed
Inconsequential
Fleeting until
I stop and peer
Into its orb
Amazed to find
Whole world reflected.
Amen!
😆

Did you notice the reflection of "the world" is upside down? Is the droplet trying to tell us something?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I did notice that, Victor. Yes, the world through man's eyes is upside down and topsy-turvey, but everything is put to rights with God's vision.

Love this post. It's amazing how much we see in this world if we will only look.

It's incredible how something as seemingly insignificant as a tiny droplet can hold the entire world within it. Your words remind us to pause, to take a closer look, and to see the beauty and wonder that surrounds us, even in the most unexpected places.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, Martha
There is so much beauty and wonder around us, Veronica, if we take the time to truly look and see.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Amazing, indeed! Great reminder (that) there is nothing insignificant about the world He created. Can you even begin to imagine what's next?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine, Myra; God's creation is always filled with one surprise after another.

Lovley Prayer. It's not easy trying to get a photo of a raindrop on a branch like that.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly isn't, Billy. I'm so proud of my husband, Danny, who took this photo for me.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Lovely. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby!

Another lovely poem, Martha! We have a slender-branched tree outside our kitchen window that becomes bejeweled with droplets after a rainfall. It appears to be decorated with glimmering crystals. Imagine--each one is reflecting its surroundings, albeit upside down! Even a tiny phenomenon of physical science such as this boggles the mind. Our God is a marvelous Designer!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is the great Designer, Nancy. His miracles are all around us when we take time to take them in. I'm glad you liked the poem, too.

Beautiful, Martha. It's so worth pausing to soak in God's wonders, isn't it? You have captured it so well in your poem. Love and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Trudy, for your kind comments here. We do need to pause and take notice of how God is working in every day of our lives.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
ReplyDeleteYes, little miracles of our every day life!
Hugs,

Always and everywhere, Mariette. Our God is so wondrous!

This is Pam from Closed Doors open windows. I am on my cellphone because my computer has crashed. Can’t blog until I get a new computer installed. I enjoyed your poem and the picture. Thank you for your faithfulness. Hope to be back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, Pam, I'm so sorry to hear about your computer crashing, and do hope the matter will be resolved sooner than later! In the meantime, please know how much I appreciate you communicating with me via your phone. That can be such a pain! Keep in touch as you work toward getting a new computer system.

Bom dia, Martha
ReplyDeleteLindo versículo e postagem, Deus cuida de cada detalhe da nossa vida, um forte abraço.
He certainly does, Lucinalva. We can trust Him fully and completely.

Sorry for being late to the party again, Martha--very busy couple of days around here. Once again, your gifts are on display as you've managed to encapsulate an incredibly uplifting and encouraging message in a few well chosen and artfully arranged words. It's amazing how much God is able to reflect in a small, liquid orb we hardly notice. It calls to mind how much of His Kingdom and His love I've seen reflected when I take the time to look beyond the first superficial glance. Thanks again for sharing your heart and the beauty of God's world with us.
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome, Ron, and know how much I appreciate your complimentary words here. Know that you could never be late to the party here at Meditations. The invitation is open while the blog is up - always!

Amen! Aloha Blessings

Great camera capture of the tiny droplet! The attached little poem is lovely in expressing amazement at " "the whole world reflected in that droplet.
ReplyDeleteI give all credit for the photo to my husband, Danny, who is an amazing photographer. I had the idea for the poem dancing in my head (with the rain drops), and he managed to capture this perfectly. Thanks, Duta!
DeleteIt is lovely, the photo and the text.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words, Aritha!

What an intriguing thought, to have so much reflected in a tiny droplet of water. I've never thought of it that way.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? God is so wondrous in His ways, Barbara.
DeleteLove and blessings!
Oh my, dear Martha. Superb! I was so sure I already commented on this beautiful poem, as I wrote a longwinded comment, but I can't find it on here now. Maybe I didn't press the publish button.
ReplyDeletePS. I've been taking the hair vitamins you recommended for about a week now... so we shall see how they work for me. Bless you sister.
I do keep having folks comment that some of their heartfelt comments aren't showing up. I hate it! Happy to hear that the vitamins you are taking are working for you, dear friend. Just give them time, some weeks and months, and I know there will be improvements.
DeleteLove and blessings!
A single drop when combined with majny single drops will create and ocean. Such is the way we should be as Christians.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Such thoughtful insight, Jim! Yes, and a great analogy for how we should live as Christians.
