The Light By Which We See

Just some thoughts I had while walking Asher the other day: 

You know how when the sun is shining everything just seems more beautiful, and it just puts a little more "pep in your step"? It's not that anything has changed-you just see it in a different way.

Well, I was thinking, it's the same way when God's light shines on our lives-He opens our eyes, and we see things differently than we did before. It gives us a little more pep in our step as we walk through life. Because our mindset has changed-we now walk in light of eternity, we now walk in the light of God's grace and love, we now walk in hope and joy!

Just like with those sunny days, it's not that things have changed-but the way that we see them has, in the light of God's mercy and love. 

It's a beautiful thing!

"For you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see."

(Psalm 36:9)
