O for spiritual eyes to see for a moment the work for the sake of Christ that goes on daily here in Lincoln, Nebraska! What would I see if I could really open my eyes and take in the efforts of the saints? A law student debating issues with honesty and integrity… A custodian humbly cleaning windows and carrying trash bags… A pastor praying for his flock… A child bringing her neighborhood friends to Sunday School… A fast food employee treating customers and coworkers with kindness… A Young Life worker giving her days and nights to relationships with high school students… A mother casting up prayers for her children while scrubbing dishes…

Sometimes my view of the Church is so narrow, so hindered by physical sight that I lose spiritual vision and neglect to see the greater work that honors Jesus Christ. For now I can only imagine my brothers and sisters as they go about their days within my city, but one day I’ll be able to see their work fulfilled in glory. And it will be a beautiful sight.
