Eyes to see

Oh that I may have eyes to see not only the beauty in nature, which You put there, but also to see You in that moment, to trace Your fingerprint, to know You more.

You who are beautiful, may I see You more. May others see You through me.

Ya know, once you have been reconciled to God in Jesus Christ, happiness and joy are really all about your choosing to surrender and just let them happen---God changes your attitude, your perspective, your thoughts about things.

This photo was taken on a day when I stressed myself out for a bunch of ridiculous reasons. Once I chose to embrace joy that day... joy flooded everything.

My best friend, Pink Kitty, has experienced this truth too.

And together, as sisters in Christ, we are meeting God at all sorts of times and places. And I believe that people are seeing Him too. May they truly recognize Him. May we continue to see Him clearly and love Him more and more.
