Hyperseeing

 "But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." --1 John 3:2b

When I read the above verse I wondered what the connection is between seeing Jesus as He is when He returns and becoming like Him in that moment.  

Have you seen this video morphing Queen Elizabeth from an infant to the the present time.  It's interesting to see how she changes through the years.  When I look at myself in the mirror it is hard for me to imagine myself as ever having been a child, and when I was a child I could not imagine myself as I am now....     

                

Right Before You

Did you like to play Hide and Seek when you were a child?

William Henry Knight - "Hide and Seek"

I always got a thrill when it was my turn to hide, and when I was the seeker it was just as much fun because I loved solving a mystery.....where could my friend be hiding?!

Routine

 "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."  Isaiah 40:31

Caller I.D.

 "There are no accidents--coincidences are just miracles in which God wishes to remain anonymous."  --Alan Cohen, "Wisdom of the Heart"

Great Expectations

"It's easy to expect that we will find ourselves in a good place surrounded by good people who like and affirm us.  But life has a way of breaking those expectations.  What then?" --Joe Stowell

Your Passionate Purpose

 "The function of man is to live, not to exist.  I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." --Jack London

Alan Cohen says, "Most people spend a great deal of time and energy protecting themselves from the things they fear.  As a result, they don't really live; they merely survive."  Can you identify with that statement?  I can.  That's why I grew up to be a Perfectionist.  

The Truth About You

 

In his book "Wisdom of the Heart" Alan Cohen begins his chapter entitled "The Truth About You" with this prayer:  "Dear God, please help me to recognize the truth about myself..."  Before I could finish what was printed on the page my mind filled in the rest of the sentence:  "....just how awful I really am."  But that's not what he wrote.  His sentence ends:  "no matter how beautiful it is."
