In the beginning, I was weary. Here it was again; Hurdles. I kept repeating: “I am tired.” Why can’t I have a time of rest before facing these challenges? But, there was no ceasing of activity. So my dependence on Him grew stronger.
Daily, I practiced Daniel’s rituals; Daniel 6:10. The Holy Spirit guided me as I went along, and his joy emanated; Nehemiah 8:10. If I examined my circumstances, I had no reason to smile, but you see, I was not looking at what surrounded me; Habakuk 3:16-19. I was considering what lay ahead; John 14:1-3.
People close to me, wondered why I smile. They believed that I did comprehend my surroundings. Some thought that I was idealistic or maybe delusional. They even asked; Why are you smiling? Why such joy?
I continued relying on Him. In time, my eyes were opened. There He was. I began to see HIM. In the believer’s, I found along the way. In people’s kindness. In their smiles as we chatted. Such a Glorious Lord! He is unable to be contained; Isaiah 6:1-5. So my joy grew, and my smile is broader...For I've seen a glimpse of His greatness and splendor...
I praise Him for such a grand honor!!!
