As different people, living in different cultures and lands we will have different interests, and talents. No one is useless. No one can tell you that you are. God gave each of you something special- don't waste it. Give it back to Him- use it for His glory.

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus; look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of his glory and grace."
These words. . .  are basically. . . amazing.
Once after singing this chorus in church, a young guy gave this challenge:  "Are the things of this earth growing strangely dim to you?"
It was just that one, simple question, but it jumped out at me and has stuck with me over the months.  I cannot sing those words without thinking. . .   Are they?  Is Jesus so much in the fore-front of my view that the things of this earth are fading strangely into the background? Am I truly looking full into his glorious face? Is he more real and lovely to me than ANYTHING else on earth?  Or are they just as important to me?
Anyway, Just a few thoughts. . . this has been really convicting to me. Every single time I sing that song, without fail.  A constant challenge to me. =)

    Sarah, I was just thinking about and singing that song recently....It's like I sing it with all my heart, but really, just to read those words and ponder them, "Are the things of this earth growing strangely dim?"
    I realized they won't any way but in the light of HIS glory and grace, then all we see is the light, and everything else WILL grown strangely dim!! Thank you so much for posting!
