“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you.
Don't sweat tomorrow -you haven't even met.
Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.”
~Steve Maraboli

Hyperseeing
February 12, 2014

Read: Romans 8:28-30

When He is revealed, we shall be like Him. —1 John 3:2

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 13; Matthew 26:26-50

Sculptors have a term for the artist’s ability to look at a rough piece of stone and see it in its final, perfected form. It is called “hyperseeing.”

Gutzon Borglum (1867–1941) is the sculptor who created many well-known public works of art. Probably the most famous is Mt. Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota. Borglum’s housekeeper captured the concept of hyperseeing when she gazed up at the massive faces of the four US presidents on Mt. Rushmore for the first time. “Mr. Borglum,” she gasped, “how did you know Mr. Lincoln was in that rock?”

Hyperseeing is also a good description of our all-seeing God. He sees all that we are and more. He sees what we shall be when He has completed His work and we stand before Him, holy and without blemish: the exact likeness, the very image of Jesus. The God who started this great work in you will keep at it until He completes it on the very day Jesus Christ appears (see Phil. 1:6).

God will not be denied! He has such a longing for our perfection that nothing can or will remain an obstacle until He has finished the work He began so long ago.

If only . . . if only we will put ourselves in the Master Sculptor’s hands.

Doubt whispers, “Thou art such a blot;
He cannot love poor thee.”
If what I am He lovest not,
He loves what I shall be. —MacDonald

God works in us to grow us into what He wants us to be.

~Welcome To Wednesday At Amy's Place~
Prayers for safety and warmth for those in our nation's icy weather.

Woods In Winter

When winter winds are piercing chill,
And through the hawthorn blows the gale,
With solemn feet I tread the hill,
That overbrows the lonely vale.

O'er the bare upland, and away
Through the long reach of desert woods,
The embracing sunbeams chastely play,
And gladden these deep solitudes.

Where, twisted round the barren oak,
The summer vine in beauty clung,
And summer winds the stillness broke,
The crystal icicle is hung.

Where, from their frozen urns, mute springs
Pour out the river's gradual tide,
Shrilly the skater's iron rings,
And voices fill the woodland side.

Alas! how changed from the fair scene,
When birds sang out their mellow lay,
And winds were soft, and woods were green,
And the song ceased not with the day!

But still wild music is abroad,
Pale, desert woods! within your crowd;
And gathering winds, in hoarse accord,
Amid the vocal reeds pipe loud.

Chill airs and wintry winds! my ear
Has grown familiar with your song;
I hear it in the opening year,
I listen, and it cheers me long.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

How beautiful! Hope this storm doesn’t get as bad as they say.

[Jane Long]

Beautiful, MEG!

Good (cooooold) Wednesday morning. Have to get out in the cold for a bit, this morning. It’s supposed to warm up, later this afternoon.

Prayers up for the folks in Georgia...stay warm, dry and safe.

[MEG33]

Thank you, (((LUV))). I hope it doesn’t either...

[MEG33]

Thank you so much, Jane...I’m really looking forward to our early spring like weekend.

Note I did not put warm fuzzy in my opening..LOL..It’s cold!

Amen to your prayers.
