I was thinking more last night about how many times I've seen awe in the eyes of a child upon their unwrapping of a gift. There's really something significant about seeing. You all know the old phrase "seeing is believing"... as much as I believe in the necessity of faith in our pursuit of Christ and the life He offers...I think I also believe the seeing more of Him increases my ability and my desire to believe for more!
Luke 2 offers us the story of the shepherds being challenged by an angel to go see the newborn Savior of the world...v15 suggest that they decided to go straight to Bethlehem to see what had been told to them. v 17 suggest that when they had seen Him something happened to them...they were infused with a desire to believe in Him...so much that they told everyone what had happened to them.
Maybe this Christmas some of us need our hearts filled with awe again...maybe a little seeing this Christmas would be a good prescription for the soul...the Bible says if we seek Him (in my words "look to see Him") we will find Him....
Let me encourage to see Him this Christmas season...see Him at work, at home, in your friends, in your spouse, in your children....He is there waiting to be seen....there's just something significant about seeing.
