He lets me see how He sees

He lets me see how He sees

I don’t know about you, but I’m still on my Resurrection Sunday high!! I feel renewed, refreshed and resurrected again myself this morning. Yesterday’s problems are still there, but I am reaching forward to the new things. I look outside my window and see the beautiful blossoms on the trees. God has painted a masterpiece today! How many times do we overlook His divine work? How many times do we become so complacent that we look past His miracles?

Proverbs 25:2 says, "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter." God supplies everything to us, including all the riches of the earth because we are the kings He made. We just have to look for these riches. He doesn't give us an "X marks the spot" map for this buried treasure. We are born with an empty place inside us that can only be filled by Salvation through Jesus Christ. When this spot is filled, we can see as God sees, then we can find the treasure. In the end, all of our thoughts and deeds will be measured. We can keep nothing from Him and He will keep nothing from us. All we have to do is ask. We must love Him and each other as He loved us. Sounds so simple, right? So many people, including Christians, don't know that every blessing is meant to be shared. That is the true meaning of love and the essence of treasure.

Look around you today and recognize the riches and the treasures He has given you. Share a smile with someone you don’t even know. Laugh at yourself, because I know every one of you will do something today to laugh at! Sing a silly song, out loud. Call a friend who might need words of encouragement. Take a walk or a bicycle ride. Search out the treasures He means for us to have and share them.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.”

Psalm 19:1

Heavenly Father,

As You spoke through Your servant David in Psalm 19:14, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.” Amen.
