While walking at sunset, the clouds were simply spectacular. There was this endless trail of puffy clouds—glowing pink, orange, and soft blue. Thinking back on it now, it looked like something out of a storybook, as if unicorns might leap from fold to fold, covered in sprinkles.

But in all seriousness, As I moved closer with each step, I caught myself thinking, “This landscape is beautiful—like a painting.” Maybe you’ve heard the saying, “pretty as a picture.” And then my mind started to wander: Why do we even say that? Why, when we encounter something so naturally amazing, something effortlessly spectacular, do we describe it as if it measured up to a painting—something we create, rather than what simply is?

We rarely look at a beautiful painting and say it’s “as pretty as real life.” It struck me: when we see something awe-inspiring, sometimes our minds doubt its reality. We think it’s too good to be true. I realized we do this with God, too. God’s love, His compassion, His redemptive power through Jesus—all can feel “too good to be true.” Sometimes, disbelief rises up, whispering that what’s most beautiful and transformative can’t possibly be real.

So next time you find yourself gazing at a breathtaking sunrise, a winding river, or caught in a moment of true awe, let yourself meditate on this: the beauty that feels too amazing to be true was created by a God who seems too great to be true—but that doesn’t make either any less real.

And that’s today’s Grace Note—a brief window into presence, awe, and the reminders God offers in everyday moments. May it call to mind the reality of wonder, and the even greater reality of His love.
