I catch a glimpse of who you must be in the imperfect people around me. At times, the beauty I see is breathtaking.  In the servant heart of my friend’s lover, in the simple faith of the child I teach, in the devoted passion of the pastor I listen to, in the loving compassion of the counselor in whom I seek advice, in the grace I receive in the peers I walk alongside, in the sacrifice of a parent for a child they love, in the tear stained face of a friend. God if that is a taste of who you are, how could I want anything but all of you? Continue to reveal yourself to me. Show me who you are by your creation. Isn’t it just like you to teach me who you are by those around me?

Teach me to be more like you. If I can see you in the imperfection around me, how amazing you must be in all your perfection!
