How often have we taken the time to truly appreciate the significance of the moments that mark major milestones in our lives? Sometimes, such moments fly by us and are gone before we even realize that they are gone, yet if we take the time to understand how God is at work within us and at such moments, there is wealth to be celebrated and shared.
Every moment of our lives, we can pause to consider God gazing at us, seeing within us a beloved son or daughter who has been bathed with water and anointed with oil, clothed with an embroidered gown, with sandals of fine leather on our feet (Ez 16:9-10). These are the priceless ornaments that the Lord has given us - not physically visible, but part of our spiritual wardrobe.
When we allow our faith to shine in the words we speak to others, when we allow our belief in the living God to direct our thoughts and actions, others come to see and appreciate the precious garments with which the Lord has adorned us, and we come to appreciate all the more, how precious we are in the eyes of our heavenly Father.
Have a great day.
