For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 NIV
Invisible Qualities
The Canadian Disability Foundation maintains that there are 6.2 million people in Canada with disabilities, many unseen and view their role as helping Canadians with disabilities (visible and invisible, including mobility, sensory, cognitive and mental health disabilities) pursue their goals in a more accessible, supportive, and inclusive Canada. Often, people think that if someone is not in a wheelchair, has a cane or a seeing eye dog, they are not disabled; however, someone’s disability cannot be judged by whether or not they are using an assistive device, or the disability is clearly visible.

What a stunning time of the year here in Canada. We are more than amazed at the symphony of colours in the leaves and vegetation around us. It’s as though God gets His creative paint brushes out and gets to work on the canvas of our country. No wonder the One who is invisible to the human eye can be seen so clearly through His creation. The apostle Paul appreciated the beauty of God’s creation and writes this in Romans 1:20: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” It never ceases to amaze me the lengths that people will go to deny the existence of God. Paul says that all their denial will prove to be their downfall one of these days. In God’s creation can clearly be seen His eternal power and divine nature, so much so that they will have no excuse on the day we all stand before our Creator. Allow His Creation to point you to Jesus.
These have been words from the heart.
