I read some passage about Peter and I think, “I can’t wait to meet that guy!”. I love his passion and devotion to You and his clumsy attempts to walk that out. And then I wonder how long that line will be to talk to him; which then makes me wonder if there will be a line for me? Are there people I have impacted or inspired by Your grace? Are there people that will want to laugh with me about my awkward efforts to love You well? Truly You make clear in Your Word, You value the one and many, so it matters not whether a line has one or many to thank another for listening to You and pouring into their life.

Eternity has become very real to me…and because of You in my life, I want a line!

For some reason that old adage comes to mind this morning; do I see the glass half empty or half full? I then sense You invite me to think about how I am viewing life.

Do I view it as a series of catastrophes emptying life of meaning and extinguishing hope?

Or do I view it as days governed by a most loving, kind and sacrificial God who loves beyond imagining and therefore every tragedy becomes in truth an opportunity and invitation to pray and witness the wonder and power of miraculous transformation?

It would most certainly have to be Your Work, Your Presence in me to authentically place the second view in me. Jesus.
