Right now I'm in studio watching the snow fall outside. Only a few days ago we were all mesmerized when we woke up with a new snowy blanket covering the ground. The chilly temperature added to the enchantment of watching thousands of tiny flakes, all uniquely shaped and formed, fluttering to the ground and landing on our big knit scarves and furry ear muffs. Today looks quite different, our mouths are full of grumbling about the temperature, walking anywhere, and the hassle it is to work around the weather.
Where did our wonder go? Have we already gotten so used to these circumstances that we fail to see the beauty anymore?
Sometimes I feel that way about God. Have I really gotten so used to His presence that I sometimes fail to see His majesty?!
The prayer of my heart is this: may we never lose our wonder. May we always look with the eyes of a child, as all things are new and exciting and beautiful. This snow fall is still beautiful, as is His grace.
“Don’t push these children away. Don’t ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.”
Jesus' words from Mark 10:14-15 MSG
