Blinded by Dullness

In the midst of this Snowpocalypse, I decided I would try to make some snow cream. 

I took my pot outside to collect some snow and saw a few of my neighbors building a large snow man! About 2 hours later, I went back out to see about my pot and look what I found...

They did a pretty awesome job! 

I got a pot-full of snow and came back inside, only to find myself blinded by the dullness of my apartment. There seemed to be a haze, blurriness, truly just dullness. A dullness I hadn't noticed before. A dullness I could see through perfectly fine before. But now, rather than the room being clear, the dullness was.

But isn't that just how an experience with God is? When we are placed in His presence and become truly aware of His light and love? All that once was normal and commonplace in our lives is so clearly less-than. Rather than this earth and all we gather with our senses being true, God's Word and perspective is shown to be the Truth.

Sadly, like our physical eyes, our spiritual eyes also become re-accustomed to darkness. So we must remind ourselves with consistent encounters with God through His Word, prayer and the church of the Truth.
