How is it that we do too often overlook the blessings God bestows upon us? By doing this we miss out on many of the awesome happenings in life. More than not, these things are the little things, but when we shift our focus to them we become much more at peace - a peace that can only come from God.
This peace is frequently lost because we search in the wrong places or don't take the time to seek it out. Society has become so busy and wrapped up in the things of this world - the things "normal" people are supposed to achieve. Busyness can become one's worst enemy. It is a way Satan distracts us from God and he uses the stress caused by it to lead our thoughts away from the daily blessings - the small things - we receive from Him.
Don't forget to look around every once in a while and relish in God's beauty and glory. He provides us with so much that serve as reminders of His love for us and yet, too often these things go unoticed. Look at the beauty of nature around you, remember God, search and hold fast to the little things - the most precious things - in your life. Rid life of busyness as much as possible for those things are not eternal but God is. He is beautifully magnificent, loving, and will leave us in awe if we allow Him the opportunity to do so.
Overflowing
Oh God of many wonders
Your love runs deeper than life
For in Your plans there are no blunders
You have chosen to take me as Your wife
You've blessed me way beyond measure
My cup is overflowing with Your love
All of which I cherish as a treasure
Filled with peace symbolized as a dove
There are no words that can describe
How utterly amazing You are to me
A humbling of my pride
Dear God You opened up my eyes and heart to see
I wish I could just explain
My love and awe for You
It seems everything would be so plain
But my human words and actions cannot do
Your love is too great
Way beyond my comprehension
For the love I have for my mate
Seems too little to even mention
However, I know this love is a blessing
Sent to me from above
This to be used for professing
Of Your undying love
You've blessed me for Your honor
In order that You may receive praise
This grace leaves me to ponder
Entranced in an eternal gaze
Your beauty is astounding
One the eyes cannot fathom
Your voice is resounding
It's more glorious than I can imagine
None of this do I deserve
But because of Your Son
Who willingly served
All has been said and done
God You're overlowing in me
Hopefully others can see that too
For You are my light at sea
And I praise You because You are true

It's the little things that really matter. But we're told so often that those big, obtrusive things (the frantic, it's-up-to-me-to-save-the-world-because-I'm-in-control-of-my-life things that keep us from those little, what-we-miss-because-we're-sadly-rather-"blind" things) are so important that we (for some reason) believe they actually are...to the extent that we overlook the REALLY important things. The irony of ironies is that we think our lives are such big things, but God sees us for the ants we are. We are not great. We are little people. We are precious. It is God who is great, but He is found so often in something as small as the light refracted in a drop of water. Who would have thought that the Grandeur of Life could possibly wish to reside or even somehow fit in a speck of dust? God would, I suppose. How many specks do we miss that have it All inside-or do we, as specks, miss what resides in us?
