Note: I'm traveling for a couple of conferences over the next week, so this blog will probably lie dormant until Advent I.
“Lord,
let me see.” What a prayer! Let me see.
How much depth, beauty, awe and wonder is there to the world that we do
not see! We believe that every marvel of
nature was lovingly crafted by God, but how often do we miss His
fingerprints? We believe that every
human was made in the image and likeness of God, immeasurably precious in His
eyes, but how we view another person as an inconvenience or distraction from
what’s really important? We believe that
Love has conquered, that sin and death have are powerless, that the world is
being redeemed, standing on tiptoes to see the coming glory, but how often do
we give in to the prophets of doom, lapse in our hope, and content ourselves to
the blinkers of pessimism and cynicism. “Lord,
please let me see.”
