What’s Missing?
I was at Target today. Pretty exciting isn’t it? I was standing in line waiting my turn and suddenly an employee up near the Customer Service counter waved me her way. BONUS! I walked right up and she starting ringing me up which was especially great since I literally had my hands full (carts are for wimps, or those who are smart). Waiting for her to “ring” everything up I glanced over to my left and noticed a really large picture hanging up of two boys looking at a globe. The picture goes along with Target’s giving program where they donate money to local schools. Nice isn’t it? The picture bothered me though. It shouldn’t have, it was a nice enough photo and the kids were happy and everything but still something was missing. The boy on the left didn’t have eyebrows. Yup! The boy on the left didn’t have any eyebrows. Weird. If you go to Target take a look. No eyebrows. I have no idea if the young lad really doesn’t have eyebrows or they were so light-colored they didn’t show up. No matter – they were missing.
What’s missing in your life? God says, “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.” God knows what may be missing in your life but do you know? Is it prayer, is it compassion, wisdom, worship, helping others, being with others? Maybe you already feel it? God will let you know if something is missing. Of course I’m really talking about how God is missing in your life. Make sure your heart isn’t missing the one thing that makes the difference – GOD!
And get some eyebrows already!
