Staying In

Historically I’ve been a person with a crazy schedule who would be out of the house all day every single day. This type of lifestyle exposed me to many types of situations in which the Lord would reveal a portion of His beautiful creation, that is essentially existence itself, to me through a seemingly infinite number of ways.

He would reveal to me amazing scenes witnessed in coffee shops.
He would reveal to me breathtaking views as I would stroll around the city.
He would reveal to me the preciousness and value in each living thing through an interaction with an elderly customer.

Lately I’ve been on a strict budget so I’ve been finding myself staying in more often than not. My view of the world has then been limited to my house and what my eyes can reach by looking out through any of my windows.

This is my current circumstance.

It’s important for me to believe that any individual, no matter what their circumstance is, can be a witness to an infinite number of alluring scenes in which they are able to experience God’s greatness.

Tomorrow after work I’ll head home and stay in, trusting that God will reveal Himself to me just by staring at the decidedly unremarkable dynamic range of the whites found on my ceiling.
