Maybe some would say it's no big deal, but I call it God's sweet grace......right at eye level from my place in my living room, I am experiencing the joy of watching a mama Robin build a nest in the tree in the yard! After last weeks post, "Temporary Home", it seems like God is giving me a sweet view of a new beginning! Isn't that just like Him?! He delights in delighting His children. It brings Him joy to see us joyful. We are designed for joy. I just read a quote in my morning devotion that describes this perfectly:
" For God has no glory, actively from those that behold His glory and take no pleasure in it; but the essence of the glorifying of God consists, therefore, in the creature's rejoicing in God's manifestation of His beauty, which is the joy and happiness we speak of." (Jonathan Edwards)
So as I take great delight in this picture of new beginnings and speak of it, I am bringing glory to God! It's just that simple!
Lesson learned: Take time to look around at the small stuff.....the beauty that He has created around you, and then smile and let the joy of it penetrate your heart. By doing this throughout your day, you will bring great delight to God!
