Eyes to see and receive

 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Mathew 13:13, KJV

Gifts are all around us.

This picture is a picture of the beautiful blooming tree in my backyard.

God didn’t have to make a tree bloom. He didn’t have to create flowers that bloom before the fruit is produced. Yet He did.

Beauty.

That gift of beauty reminds me that Creator is good. It also reminds me of His love for me because the beauty is a gift of love to me.

But to receive the gift, I have to have eyes to see it as such.

I hope as you walk your journey–however, dark–you may be able to see these sorts of gifts along the way. It is in these times especially that we need reminders of God’s goodness, beauty, and love for us.

May you have eyes to see!
