And may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself  (Eph 3:18-19 LB).

God’s love, wisdom and miracles are all around us if our common senses were to function as God intended them.  Although the stories of our lives are full of miracles and a manifestation of God’s amazing grace, yet we most times do not see his amazing performances. Our union with God makes us see God in our lives daily. And helps us do less and achieve more; know less but experience more of his love and grace in our lives. God’s blessings in our lives make us more productive in life and ministry. However, we may need to grow in our ability to see, hear, feel, and smell the goodness of God in our lives. This will help us to know that even our day to day living is a miracle from God.

I like Chaim Stern reflection in his Jewish book of prayer, Gates of Prayer. According to him:

Days pass and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles.  Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and our minds with knowing; let there be moments when Your Presence, like lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk.  Help us to see, wherever we gaze, that the bush burns unconsumed.   And we, clay touched by God, will reach out for holiness, and exclaim in wonder:  How filled with awe is this place, and we did not know it!  Blessed is the Eternal One, the holy God!

I like the saying, “Sell cleverness and buy bewilderment” in the wonders of God’s love. The above meditation highlights the following:
1.       My Insensitivity to God to the manifestation of God’s grace in my life and my world
2.       My Ingratitude to God for what he is doing in and through my life
3.       My Poor vision of who God is and what he is doing around me
4.       My Sinfulness before God before the holiness of God
5.       The helpless and hopelessness of humanity without God

However, it also reminds me of the following:
1.       God’s love for all humankind
2.       God’s desire for all men to be saved
3.       God’s provision for the salvation of mankind
4.       God’s power that is at work in human
5.       God’s undisputed character
6.       The wonders of God’s creation
7.       God’s global immanence, regardless of the News headlines.

When God opens our eyes to see his power and our ears to hear his word and feel the works of his presence each day, our faith becomes stronger and wiser. When we see the depth of his love for our lives our hearts and minds become more secure and we become more peaceful toward our neighbours. His glowing holiness is our beauty in ashes. May God help us to pause each day and reflect on his wonders in our lives. May God open our eyes to see that our very existence each day is a miracle from him.
