Begin where you are. Whatever earthly things are present to you now, start with them. Whether it’s warm sunshine or a cool spring rain. Whether it’s eating enchiladas or sipping lemonade. Whether it’s planning a project for work or having a conversation with your spouse. Whether it’s working in the yard or wrestling with your kids. Whatever good and perfect gifts are coming down to you now from the Father of lights, begin with them. Receive them with gratitude. Savor them with gladness. Study them with delight. Share them with others. And refuse to stop with the gifts. Follow them back to the giver. See them as declarations of his glory. Know them as images of divine things. And then turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in his wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely \u003cem\u003ebright\u003c\/em\u003e, in the light of his glory and grace.\" ~Joe Rigney\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joe Rigney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44087409803379,"sku":"G-121","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5462\/0787\/files\/StrangelyBright.jpg?v=1763146757","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.canonpress.com\/products\/strangely-bright-can-you-love-god-and-enjoy-this-world-2nd-ed","provider":"Canon B2B","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
