The Surprise Miracle of Any Relationship
Though a smile is one of the smallest pieces of a relationship, hidden within its inner-most ‘reflects’ is the power of God. Its spontaneous genuflect makes it the surprise miracle of life, filled with all of the 75 algebras of math. And like diamond, this wonder contains marvelous survival: for while its quick tiny movement may fill a brawling room, it also contains long-lived endurances that can flood its quiet warmth forward into the ages of the future.
I have often wondered what glad radiance we will see on the faces of the many saved nations as they wait between songs for their next great selection of praise. There too, with the 100 billion saved will be those angels that nurtured and loved us in silence and duty, standing around the vast square of the sea of glass, sending full-faced beams of approval in every direction across the safest room in the universe.
In our today while we are choosing, God smiles also in His many ways, but He smiles with highest favor when we turn our humbled faces toward His Son. For in that ‘revealed one’ we find ‘the love that gave’, and only in this ‘one’ will we see the miracle of life that contains all the other saving miracles that belong to the biggest relationship of all time and eternity.
