One Word At A Time: Reflection
By Ginny (MAD21)
Nothing is usually ever as it appears. We may be lucky enough every now and then to have something be genuinely what we see before us, but it is unlikely to be 100% face value.
I once had someone tell me there are four different ways that we are seen:
Things only God sees in us;
Things only we see in ourselves;
Things only other see in us; and
Things everyone sees.
Only God. He knows it all. What's the "it?" Everything, that's what. The beginning, the end, and everything in between. He knows us and our children, and our children's children. He knows all the choices we have made and will make, and what choices others will make that will affect our lives forever. He knows what he wants us to become, and who we will choose to be.
