Shiny, Real Shiny

It sounds like the job is shining.  2Cor4  All the rest is good, but is not effective without shining.
So one question for me...Am I shiny today?  Does experiencing me direct their attention toward God?

Are my choices, actions and words making and keeping me shiny?

Off to a good start

I started a new adventure this morning. I have asked a guide to lead me over an otherwise impassable pass.

You see, it is not impossible. I just need help. Not only do I need help, but I also need to get to the other side. And I also need to be changed in the process. I need the change more than I need the other side.

The Word says that He restores my soul. That is what is going on. There is a glorious, and God-glorifying way that my mind, will and emotions were meant to be, but are not. The closer they are to design, the more my King gets that glory that is his. I want that real bad. I ache to honor the one who rescued me. What wouldn't you do for your hero?

I will acknowledge and celebrate that other good things will result from the restoration of my soul, but the only thing that can matter first being shiny to shine on the one who ransomed me.

Father, for your glory, help me to attend faithfully to the effort of the guide you have placed in my path. I know that she is earnest and able.
