“We live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV
Of course, this is true – it’s in the inspired word of God. Yet, as I prayed for God to lift the burden of all I discussed yesterday, and help me to get back to a focus on Him and others ( ug, such selfishness I was wallowing in yesterday!), I knew He wanted to lead me to something else in His word as well. So I kept looking. And I kept praying.
Here is one of the places He took me….
“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
He’s waiting expectantly, this little boy. He knows He must live by faith, but that doesn’t mean He has to stop looking. As long as He looks because He believes, he is still living not just by sight, but by faith. AND….with joyful anticipation and delight in the hope of Jesus and His return!

Today, I reflect on the fact that I believe in Him. I have faith in Him. I trust in Him. And I love Him.
This is my prayer for you as well: That you will keep looking – with joyful anticipaton and expectation. We can live by faith, not by sight and keep looking all at the same time. That is what He reassured me of last night. He is risen – and He is coming back one day!
Until then, we can look while we hold Him close and He lives through and within us – what an absolute blessing, indeed. Be blessed today. Bask in this along with me today.

Thanks, Annie!

While I was reading your message, I was thinking that God has been speaking me to wait for Him patiently. I have a lot of prayer request to God that I should wait for patiently looking towards Him. God Bless you more and more.
Yes…you know, I feel the same way. Sometimes, He tells us clearly to move, and other times, He says to wait….lately I have been praying “God, if at any point you no longer want for me to wait, please just let me know, and I will jump willingly.” I shall pray this prayer for you, friend! Annie
Amen and be blessed .

That’s the beauty of His love for all of us. Great reflection Annie! So glad we connected, isn’t it amazing how things just work out if we trust in Him. He lights our path and helps us find others who need each other.
Yes…grace, just plain grace! Thank you for your encouragement, Di! Annie 🙂

Oh, good! I am so glad, and thank you so much for the encouragement. He teaches us more and more every day, doesn’t He? Thank you for continuing to be such a blessing! Annie 🙂
