There is so much in life that doesn't exist on just one level of meaning. But then it isn't always easy to keep focused on this reality.

We can drift into only seeing the here and now. To think that what we have is all we have.

Faith requires better eyes. Faith demands we look at more than the obvious. And if the Lord inspires then we find the deeper essence of His creation.

How easy it is for life to become complicated by distraction. To let it bury us in ways we just can't escape forgetting what is really important.

God can help us the best with our problem in area. He can help to make us see in places where we might never gaze.

And most of all to find the love that He can inspire in so many ways. But then of it we can truly rejoice.

To live along the layers known and never see the depths below is to fail to find what God's fingers touched with love. This denies us the chance to learn.

Apart the moment we get so sidetracked if we feel his call upon our lives, then we not forget His teaching and learn all that it represents. A tragedy befalls us when we do.

But it isn't one we always see. If all we have is the sum of our thoughts. That is what becomes our legacy of ignorance.

Shared by many and never a good habitat. I am grateful when He grants us mercy. To be able to gaze beyond our lives.

The image isn't always a good one. But it is an honest one. And for that we can be grateful.

We can celebrate the lesson we have learned. And then we can move ahead in the joy that it is a good instead of bad thing.

Perhaps even to find the moment in which we stop complaining and see the joy we thought was a desert. When we do that we can feel good.

And then we can savor the growth. Because we didn't pause in places we assumed were too shallow to deserve our attention.

That is a source of praise. Though some will never see it that way. I am grateful when it does allow me to learn.
Even when the lesson is painful.
