Lord, there are so many lessons in life, so many ways to learn about You; about the way You want us to live. Your purpose is not always so easily apparent, especially if we are not seeking Your will. When we seek out the things we want, or think we want, everything can become unclear, because how many of us really know what we want or even need? Everything is always changing, our attitudes, our moods, our surroundings;it is hard to keep up with life, yet alone try to figure out what is right. We cannot do it alone. You see the whole picture, Lord, from beginning to end. When I consider this, I am in awe of You, Lord. The only way that I can hope to catch the vision You have for me is to focus on You; to see through Your eyes. If I look at myself and others through Your eyes, Lord, I might begin to see Your vision, too. The glorious vision of Your kingdom. Please allow me to see all You see, Lord. Help me to share the vision with others, in service to You, in all I say and do. Help me to live my life for You. I praise You, my Lord. In Your precious Name, I ask, dear Jesus. Amen. God accepts us as we are, where we are, if we make the choice to follow Him. He will take care of all the details of forming us into the person He wants us to be. He gives us the choice to make, the choice to allow Him to change us into what He has always intended us to be. All we need to do is say, "Yes, Lord, I am here!" Proverbs 17: 3 "The crucible for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the tester of hearts is the Lord." PTL
