Through new eyes...

I have been taught that what God has for me is for me.  Nobody can beg, borrow or steal my blessings.  Nobody can block them, not even myself.  Now I am sure some of my decisions in life have delayed them, but eventually God will reveal them to me.  I have come to realize that often the blessing I've been praying and fasting for has been right in front of me the entire time.  If it had been a snake it would have bit me. 
The blessings never changed.  They never do.  God knows what I need, before I know myself.  He has a blueprint of my life and the way it is to play out.  He knows all the points of my life.  The highs and lows and the blessings needed to move to the next stage of my life.  
But if the blessings never change, how do I miss them or not utilize them.   The change has to come within myself.  It could be that my perspective shifted, my priorities got reorganized, my standards evolved, or maybe I have matured.  I do know that God will not give it to me until I am ready; and He will never give me more than I can handle.  All it takes is to get closer to Him.
The closer I get to God, the better my vision becomes.  I am seeing the world in a whole new light.  There is new color in the horizon. Things that were dim and dull are shiny and bright.  It is amazing that my blessings were right before my eyes the entire time.
The closer I get to God, the bigger my blessings become.  I serve a big God therefore I should expect nothing less than big things.  
I receive my blessings with a heart of gratitude.  My eyes are open wide to take in all that God is showing me.  He has placed some amazing things just within my grasp.  I don't want to blink because  I just might miss a moment in this wonderful new view.....all because my eyes are filled with Love for my God.
