There are things in life that we would pay a million dollars to have; but having them, we ignore them. They are around us every single day. But we take them for granted. Things like a beautiful, limitless cloudless sky, a night with a thousand diamond stars of brightness or the tint of color in our lovers eyes. Lord Byron saw that:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
-- Lord Byron
Why do we so quickly and easily take those things as though they will always be there and then in the blink of an eye they are gone and we missed it. We tend to see right through the beauty that is all around us in God's creation. We also tend to see right through the opportunities that God places in our pathway everyday as we walk our life. C.S. Lewis understood the blindness we are stricken by:
You can't go on "seeing through" things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is seeing something through it…To see through all things is the same as not to see.
-- C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man
What is there in your life that you just see through as though it were not there? Just imagine if you saw ever moment of your life as a gift from God. And saw everyone around you as a masterpiece God created with a purpose. You would see the limitless opportunities to be MASTERPIECE you were designed to be!! You would MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY, if you saw you life that way!!!
