“We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.” —Oswald Chambers, born #OnThisDay in 1874.
How many people did you walk past today that you never really saw?
The barista who wasn't smiling.
The coworker you said hi to without stopping.
The person you've seen a hundred times but never really looked at.
Slow down this weekend.
See people.

"It is also the gift of God whenever anyone eats, drinks, and enjoys all his efforts. I know that everything God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it. God works so that people will be in awe of him."
