Love Is In the Details

What comes to mind when you view an intricate pattern, work of art or the intricate beauty of nature?
Do you wonder how long it took to create, marvel at the patience of the artist, or wonder how such beauty is even possible?

Displaying His Beauty
The act of creation in and of itself is intricate and detailed. The way our brain processes work to create and gather information for creating. God made this process to be a thing that will display His glory and majesty.

Scripture says, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 19:1

God in his creation is displaying all the love He has for us and the world around us. Each detailed leaf, flower, animal, star or mountain is a beautiful testament to His love for each of us. It is also a testament to His love for beauty and creating beauty. He would not have placed such a desire to create beauty with intricate detail within us if He did not also love intricate details.

Intricacies Help Us To Grow

Our brains love patterns and intricate details. They are wired to make connections and patterns in the everyday things we see. Patterns are predictable and can also be quite beautiful. Learning can be much easier when things are predictable and we can follow a pattern. God created us to function this way in order that we would learn and grow in our understanding throughout life and in understanding the patterns of God’s love all around us.

Our culture loves convenience and fast paced ways of getting things done efficiently. That’s ok in some ways but in others, it skips right over what the point of slow and intricate processes are.

As any creative person understands, creation is often an involved and time consuming process. But the results are always worth the time and effort it takes to create them.

If you study nature and how things grow, they take their time, they don’t rush and they become full of beauty and splendor as a result. Consider how your garden grows if you are a gardener. You must do alot of waiting before the beautiful or fruitful end result appears. So it is with intricate details of our own hearts and lives. This then extends outward into the things we create.

Since God delights in the intricate details, He wants us to also delight in them. He wants us to understand that the importance is not in how fast we get there, but in the journey and the process that we are on. Let God teach you to love the slow process of building detail and intricate patterns of grace and beauty in your life.


We are created to love the details just like our Creator does. We are His workmanship, His sons and daughters made in His image. A detailed and complex image that is amazingly beautiful . Look around and see His intricate love for you and begin to create out of that love.
