What makes me smile....

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!!!
