I am working to finish a devotional that I started last summer, You Are My Hiding Place by Amy Carmichael. Today's reading, Day 26 is "Eyes to See" is so appropriate as I am visiting Biltmore and Asheville today on my first day of Spring Break.
This morning I awoke and opened the curtains to a beautiful sunrise over the mountains.
It made me think of how much God is thinking about me as I am thinking and longing for him.
Here is the focal verse for today, from the Amplified Classic version:
Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One).
From Amy and echoed in my heart:
I want to see Him truly, continually in His work, in those who love Him, in His book, in HIMSELF.
