“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Although February is frigid and grey here in Virginia, the birds have become super active. They know that Spring is coming. Such a good metaphor for our life of faith, our life of hope. As Bono sings, “midnight is where the day begins.”

Think for a moment. How do you fix your eyes on what is unseen? Sounds like a Zen riddle, but it is definitely worth pondering today. I do know this; God has His eyes fixed on you with a powerful love and an intention for a kind of good that you can even begin to fathom.

“O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that we, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen.” (Tuesday in Easter Week – BCP p. 223)
