Your Spirit within me has more power than I can ever even begin to explain. I have seen you walking with me; you have shown me through your Spirit working in me that I have capabilities to do things that I myself cannot comprehend. I find strength and courage not through my own flesh but through your Spirit which has overwhelmed me. Staring in a mirror, I no longer see the face that I have grown accustom to, but I see the face of my Savior. I cannot see and I may never know all that you have done through me, but somehow I know that by your power working in me, the world is not as it was. I find myself unable to step back into a life of normalcy and comfort because I now know the satisfaction of living only to bring you glory.  

"Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us glory, much greater than trouble. For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever." (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

Whatever comes of the day, we find ourselves in harmony with one purpose: to bring glory to God. If this were not so, why would we seek to surrender ourselves to His will, to find His lost sheep, or to serve His Kingdom. How are we to wake if it not be for a purpose and what better purpose is there than to bring glory to the Father? We rest in trusting the Lord to give us the power to defeat our enemies. We find a peace, a certain joy even, in knowing that there is more to ourselves than what we can understand.   At the end of the day we find ourselves in perfect harmony and it is a beauty that surpasses this earth; A feeling of wholeness and peace that comes from being exactly where we are intended to be and living as though we were created intentionally.  At the end of the day we conclude that we can't understand the ways of the Lord and for that we praise Him in all of His glory. For this life does not depend on our understanding, but simply our obedience. 

 "To Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen." (Ephesians 3:20)
