Phil,
I think that too, only, I wonder sometimes if, instead of beautiful
wrappings, God wraps His gifts more plainly and I overlook them
because, in my finite mind, they just don't look attractive enough to
peek my curiosity. I often think that I overlook things because they
just don't appeal to my material nature. Too bad for me. Lord, give
me more discernment to grasp all that you want me to have. Amen.
