"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

The God Who Sees Me

I just finished reading a fictionalized version of the Samaritan woman entitled Journey to the Well by Diana Wallis Taylor. It is a good read if you get the opportunity to pick one up. One of the phrases she used in the story was "the God who sees me". What a comfort that God sees the struggles that we face - poor health, tight finances, loss of job, stress in the workplace, etc. He sees the things that are going on in our lives and doesn't just sit back and watch. He is walking the path beside you, just waiting for you to seek His help and comfort in each situation that you face.

Not only is he the God who sees you, but He also is the God who loves you and wants communion with you. Won't you reach out to Him today for your daily strength and portion?
