We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a
fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and
the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees
us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
1 Corinthians 13:12, The Message
Earlier this winter, when
temperatures refused to rise above zero, I felt myself giving into the stress
of cabin fever. I went straight from the house to the car to work and back
again at the end of the day. Now with daytime highs around ten above (yes, ten
degrees Fahrenheit), I feel comfortable wearing boots, snowpants, and the rest
of the normal winter gear as I roam around my backyard.
We have a steep hill where I
have tried to keep a trail open. I march up it every weekend if I possibly can.
From the top of my little hill, I have a clear view of my house and the rest of
the yard. When I am on my back deck, I can only see so much of my domain, but
from my hill, it all becomes clear.
It reminds me of this verse.
Sometimes we just can’t see everything we want to. It is not clear, as if
something were in the way. But with God in our life, we can see all around us as
we were meant to. We have clarity before our eyes and clarity in our lives.
Thank You God for giving me eyes to see the beauty You have created. And thank You even more for letting me see how much You love me. Amen
