Gazing Upon God's Beauty

8 June

I had a pleasant experience in the bus this morning when a 50 something year-old man approached me while I was standing in a crowded bus trying to read my bible. It was such an encouragement as he started to chat about the things of God. He is a Roman Catholic. God was allowing me to create ‘GOD AWARENESS’ to the people around me unconsciously. Can you imagine if we did it consciously?

This eventful encounter allowed me the opportunity to meet Matthew, the 50 something year-old man reflect on things that we value and live for. He was surprised to know that someone like me existed for the very purpose of serving Jesus and the community. In fact, I challenged him to look forward to eternal things rather than for the temporal. I thought it was a divine appointment that God allowed him to have with me because he does not take the bus often – He usually drives!

I continued to read Ps 27:4 and indeed it is ONE THING that I ask of the Lord; this is what I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. That is really the desire of my heart even as I prepare my heart for the 100k blessing! Gazing upon the beauty of the Lord will be my constant motivation and drive to serve and love Jesus ….J.
