Outside Your Window

What is outside your window? God has used the view outside my window to "speak" to me on multiple occasions. Interesting enough if I began to expound on these occasions you may quickly identify or I might just as quickly lose your interest, depending on what is outside your window.

Living in a town home for a period Beth and I would look out our kitchen window to see our neighbors and their beautiful little daughter eating dinner. It was a picture of future and hope. In our early years Ty was entering the youth stage and we had a small youth group. It seem so difficult to attract new youth to the church. Sitting at my desk one day I watch the field across the street as neighborhood youth played ball and enjoyed the afternoon. Duh, God said, "Bring the youth group to the neighborhood." Hot dogs cooked out in the front yard with invitation to whosoever will opened up a new season of ministry.

Perhaps more importantly than what is outside our window is whose eyes are we looking through? With our human eyes the picture may be frightening or hopelessness, but with God's eyes there are opportunities abounding to bring heaven to earth. Interesting, one of the first things we did at HPFC is install new windows!
