Glimpsing Eternity

Faithworks author, Bryan Patterson, wrote the following in his article entitled "Seeing small miracles" (Sunday Herald Sun, 19/8/07)
'...it is often the downtrodden, the poor and the disenfranchised who have the most trust in God, even when... their lives are stretched to breaking point. They are able, at times, to move beyond the ordinary, everyday sort of consciousness to glimpse eternity.
The ancient Jewish rabbis used to say: God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everyone who looks at it sees a different face.'


Lord, give us each a faith in You that is deeper and wider than we can ever imagine.
Allow us to experience the height and breadth of Your love as our present reality.
Grow us in Your grace that we might glimpse etenity everyday.
May we witness, and be participants in, the small miracles you do each day in people's lives.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (MSG) ~ "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men..."
