Our senses are some of the most beautiful and useful gifts that we are granted in life.
When you open your eyes each day you are granted new mercies, a vision of light, a feeling that is new, and a chance to do something new. You have the chance to get even closer to who you are called to be, each day- do you ever think about how lucky you are to do so?
Every day when you rise from your bed, do you really think about being able to use your legs and being able to walk, get yourself from place to place and move about when you get ready to? Walking is something that not everyone is able to do…are you happy and thankful for that function and ability? Do you really think about it and cherish it?
What about the use of your taste buds and sense of smell? Imagine how many delightful things that cross your path that you are able to enjoy and take pleasure in because you have those senses?
No matter which of your regular functions that you do take time to think about, shouldn’t you have a keen delight in each thing?
Keen in this sense is referring to being passionate and enthusiastic.
Everything that you are able to do is special, amazing, a blessing, and such a journey to behold.
What if every day you appreciated (in true delight) all of your senses?
What if you really took the time to smell the roses?
When was the last time you sat still at looked at the beauty of the clouds?
You have your favorite things that you love to eat, do you really appreciate the joy and deliciousness of all that you savor?
Do you savor all that you sense?
Think about it…some of the most wonderful things that you enjoy in life are attached to your senses.
A hug from someone so special to me brings me joy, warmth, and peace.
It is a blessing to experience the love of life and all within it. Even when your days are tiring, overwhelming and making you feel low, you have so many things to delight in.
Each time that something makes you smile what if took a few extra moments and truly appreciated that feeling?
In keen delight, value and appreciate everything wonderful that your senses bring to you.
Imagine a life where you could not experience the blessing of sense and feelings…you would miss out on so much.
Down bible road we go!
Proverbs 20:12
“Ears that hear and eyes that see – the Lord has made them both.” Every day that you wake up, if you do not do so already you should be thankful and give thanks for your senses. There is so much to be thankful for, even the seemingly small or normal things. Count your blessings…they are all valuable. God did not have to give you anything, so be thankful and appreciate it all.
The Universe, or if you believe in God (He), have so much for you to appreciate with all of your senses, if you don’t pay attention to it all, you may miss it.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him- these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.” If you cannot appreciate the grandeur of life presented to you through your senses, will you be prepared for the most beautiful things that God has in store for you? Live in your happiness and appreciate all that you see, hear, feel, touch, and taste if it truly brings you joy.
Be blessed and be at peace.
