I read somewhere that green was God’s favourite colour, maybe because so much of our vegetation and nature is green. I expect God loves every colour because He is the God of colour and light. And we know He loves what He has created because the Bible tells us so. ‘God saw everything that He had made and behold, it was very good.’ Genesis 1:31.
God gave us the rainbow as a promise that He would never flood the entire earth again. He could have given us a bow of just one colour. But instead we have the rainbow with seven magnificent colours and on occasions we even have a double rainbow.
What a variety of different greens there are! When choosing to dress in green, it is difficult to find two items of this colour that are exactly the same, the green variety is great.
As I look at my garden at this time of year, green is the predominant colour. Even the blooming hellebores, have very pale green flowers. But in my mind’s eye I can see my garden full of different colours as spring and summer come into play. Green might be God’s favourite colour but His variety of every colour shows His abundant love for us.
