Seeing, Not Just Looking

So I drove an hour this morning in the fog.

I looked into the sky and saw the sun, a perfect circle, bright, yet I could look at it.

I’ve been trying to see lately, not just look but see what the Lord has to show me through His creation.

I thought about this earth, how we are in a sense in a fog, not able to see clearly.

I Corinthians 13:12 came to mind: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I thought about the sorrow I have experienced lately, how through it all The Light still shone.

I thought about how the sun still brings light even through the fog, but only what is closest to us are we able to see.

Maybe sometimes we are supposed to be wrapped up in fog, and the Lord shines His light on what is dear to us, reminds us of what really matters.

Perhaps sometimes the Light is so bright we are afraid to gaze at It, but through the fog, we can behold the Sun more fully.

I just love it when God writes a love letter in the sky to me, reminding me to see, reminding me to taste and see that He is good.
