With thoughts drifting to people, I just ponder about how amazing each person is, in their own way, and how blessed I am to know them. Who am I to deserve their attention, time, and affection?
I don't deserve any of it. Yet I have it, and more. It's all a beautiful gift from God. I know God allows people in our lives for a reason. As I think about these people, I know they are supposed to be a part of my story. They get me thinking, they challenge me, they share stories with me, they inspire me and encourage me, they make me want to be a better person, and they touch my heart in their own unique way. I am so deeply thankful for that.
I don't want to go through life and miss the chance to appreciate the people who make my dark days brighter. I don't want to overlook this wonderful gift God has given me.
I am interested in discerning the voice of God in the conversations that we engage in when we are not intentionally thinking "God". -Eugene Peterson
