With this week being Easter, I have been giving a lot of time and thought to the sacrifice that Jesus made for me. As I read the scriptures concentrating especially on the events of the last week of His life, I cannot help but get a sense of how far I am from knowing what is really going on in my life.
Did Jesus die so that I could spend my time worrying about where my next mortgage payment will come from, or arguing with my family or coworkers over what are truly insignificant issues? "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." 1 Cor 13:12, NIV.
As I reflect on the Lord's sacrifice, I wonder what it will be like, when we are all in heaven with Him, and He explains all that we cannot at this time see. How will I feel when I see what life was really all about. What opportunities am I missing, as I live my day-to-day life, running around, trying to meet deadlines, focusing on temporal things? Why do I worry about anything at all, when all of the resources of the universe are at my disposal, if I am living out the purposes God has set before me?
A lot to thing about....

I think sometimes our eyes are pointed inward instead of outward and we miss God's lesson or his help. We just let them go thinking that is not right cause that is not what I asked for. Look for the seeds he is giving us daily and let them grow and yeild greatness.
