Reveal

Do you ever ask God to reveal things to you?  Do you know what this picture is a picture of?  This is a fishing shed I believe.  But you can't really see it very well can you. But if you look at the next picture, more is revealed.  I had not considered asking God to reveal Himself to me.  But why not consider this?  I am not asking God to help me to be a fortune teller.  I am asking God to Reveal Himself to me.

Okay now when we look at this picture we can really see clearly what this little building is!  Wow!  Can you imagine spending time in this little building?  I can.  I live in the country and one of my favorite things to do, is go to bed with a window open, especially in the spring.  Do you know what spring peepers are?  They are little tree frogs, which make an amazing racket, especially at night.  I really like the sounds of nature.  Any way back to the pictures.

I have an awesome program on my computer for pictures.  These two pictures that you see are actually the same picture.  One is just cropped and then resized.  It is a closer picture in essence.  Like I had a telephoto lens, which I do not, they are a bit expensive.

Alright, if we want God to reveal Himself to us, we have to get closer to Him.  And the only way to do this is to spend time with Him.  When we are in a new relationship, and not necessarily a romantic relationship, perhaps a platonic type of relationship.  The only way to have a strong platonic relationship is to get to know the person that you share this affection with. Example, your very best girl-friend that you had as a child growing up.  You shared everything!  I can remember my best friend as a child, and we did share everything.  It was wonderful! Okay now imagine that relationship but carry it further...get closer, just as I did with the picture.  The picture is the same one, just closer!

That is the kind of relationship to have with our Father in heaven.  And the closer we become to Him, the more time that we spend in His word, and not just reading His word, but practicing His word, (see you don't have to be reading the bible 24-7) the more the Lord will reveal to us.  I don't know about you, but I would really like our Lord to reveal Himself to me.  I want to know Him more and I want to Love Him more.  God is so good and He will only reveal to us what we can deal with.  I do not believe that I could handle the knowledge of how He created the universe.  I think my mind would be blown to bits.  Too much knowledge for this simple girl.  But I do want to know other things, like how to love someone who doesn't want me to love them...Now there is a good thought to close with. 

Yup you know what I am about to say, go and be a silent blessing to someone today!
