Friends, have you ever experienced the humble reality of a heart filled with exceeding gratitude for the Giver of life and the gift of life itself? In living life, we have a tendency to take all of the good things of life for granted. As a result of taking His divine gift of life for granted, we often live in discontent and misery, complaining about what we don’t have and failing to appreciate what we do have. James Gills, M.D. explored the wonders of DNA and the astonishing secrets of life that have been unlocked by molecular biology scientist. His perspective of life was radically changed after observing the fantastic function of microscopic particles that establish and maintain life.

Gills found himself filled with appreciation to the Creator of life for His unfathomable gift of life. One of the most precious gifts of God is your eyesight. Have you taken time to appreciate the amazing gift of your eyesight?

Gills, who is devoted to the medical practice of restoring vision to thousands of individuals, writes: “The physical eye is one of the most complex marvels of creation known to man. Even Charles Darwin had to admit from his observations of the eye that his theory of origins, the evolution of life based on time and chance, could not adequately explain the complex functions of the human eye.”

More importantly, I pray that the eyes of your heart be enlightened to God’s abundance (Ephesians 1:18ff) and that you respond with exceeding gratitude to the Lord for all His blessings.
