See

See what no one else sees...
See what everyone else chooses not to see...out of fear and conformity and laziness...
See the whole world anew each day...
(A line from the movie “Patch Adams”)

“Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Conjugating Verbs

Evelyn Underhill has said, "We mostly spend [our] lives conjugating 3 verbs: to want, to have, and to do." Surely our greatest need is simply to be, like Mary dwelling in the presence of God.

(Bruce Demarest, Soul Guide, Downers Grove, IL: NavPress, 2003, p. 95)
