Wow! You took this picture? It is truly lovely and such a testament to the beauty of Christ! The glory of His creation. I know sometimes I look at my lack of "doing anything big for God" as puzzling, or I look at it with some longing to be different. I wonder...is God happy with this tiny little bit of ministry that I attempt to do? :-) I know He will show me what it is He requires of me, not doubting but trusting that He is working it all out in me. Perhaps there are seasons He keeps us as the only flower in the forest, isolated, silent, not to be noticed by others, just so He can gaze upon us...for His pleasure alone. One of His redeemed and at peace with Him. May He richly bless you!!! Hi Steph!

Too often our service for the Lord supersedes our desire for the Lord Himself. I have seen this in my own life for many years, but did not know there was any alternative - I always equated them the same, but am finding they are not even remotely on the same page. I understand now why Oswald Chambers says "God. first, God second and God third." and also "If you look after the Source, God will take care of the outflow" This picture I took from my roof - I have been dabbling in photography since May and have been really blessed by it, and am so enjoying the skies. It truly is a case of "The heavens declare the glory of the Lord." Bless you dear sis!! Steph Hi Lyn :-D

And the post was just as beautiful...it brings to mind this passage from Phil. 3:12, 'Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me'...with the emphasis on'press on'.
