Me: Everyday a new beginning has taken place with the rising of the sun. Let’s rejoice in the Lord today.

Prodigal: There may be struggles, but others are here to encourage you.

This is from the book Overcoming Spiritual Blindness by James P. Gills, M.D.

The Scriptures liken our sight to the poor quality of reflection particular to the piece of polished metal used as a mirror in Paul’s day. As far to the right of our continuum as we can possibly go in this life–living our faith fully in obedience to the Spirit of God within-we are still only beginning our eternal relationship with God. Heaven alone offers perfection. Our paltry knowledge–our ability to understand and perceive spiritually–is imperfect and limited. We see through a glass only dimly, though our hope is that the heavenly fullness is yet to come. We cannot now see the beauty of heaven, but under the perfect reign of God’s love in eternity, we will finally see the blessed life that God has appointed for us with clarity.

It is fine if you do not understand all that is taken place around you. God has a clear vision of it all. He has not allowed it to be out of His control. Some of this will not make since until eternity so do not focus on asking more right now. Focus on obedience.

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

PSALM 72 : 18
