God's gaze is always turned toward His beloved. However, the depths of His truth often come when we have fixed our gaze upon Him ... then we are able to hear the epiphanies from His nature which change us forever. As a result, we understand it is not what we possess which proves our nearness to God, but what we dispossess of this world.Beware of judging others by prosperity of body, soul, or spirit. Material wealth or bodily health are not necessarily indicators of closeness to God. However, poverty of self and our rights to what we think best will result in the fruit of the Spirit manifesting in our lives. May we fix our gaze upon His gaze upon us. For as we do, He will speak great and wondrous things that will make us like His Son.
