*What is Unseen*
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
What do you see when you look at a paper towel roll?
Last night at dinner my 4 year old son gasped and started to point at the kitchen sink! He said, "Mom! Mom! Can I please have that telescope!" I looked over by the sink and had no idea what he was talking about. He said, "That telescope, right there!" I looked again and saw nothing. Then my husband said, "Oh, you mean the paper towel roll." My son said, "Yes, yes that thing!"
We laughed!
Faith is so much like this! Children see things so clearly but our prideful adult eyes can't always see. We have been told what faith looks like and how to obtain full grace but many look and choose not to see! Many see a paper towel roll when others can look at the cardboard paper and immediately see a telescope! It's not about what we physically see with our own eyes! It's more about what is unseen and what we believe we will see that truly matters!
The Challenge:
Go out into the world today with childlike eyes! Try to see what children see in the most ordinary of things! Blessings all around!
