Lately all I have wanted to read and learn about are the saints. \u00a0Why this insatiable thirst?<\/p>\n

Is it because my prayer has been, “Please lead us\u00a0Home” and my eyes\u00a0are being opened to the ones who can show the\u00a0way?<\/p>\n

Maybe, but this morning I started\u00a0wondering if He has opened my eyes for another reason. \u00a0Maybe He wants me to know that I know a saint and he wants me to be able to truly see her, see Him, see her, see Him.<\/p>\n

Do we know when we are in His presence? \u00a0Do we\u00a0really see Him shining through others? Can we get past the exterior and the good works to really know when He is living in another?<\/p>\n

I am not sure that I know when I am in His presence. \u00a0I am not sure that I would have known Him, but I want to, I long to know Him.<\/p>\n

The first truly will be last as they continue returning to lift up the rest of us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
