Good morning Family!
What do your windows look like in your car and apartment? Are they clean and crystal clear? Or do they need a little attention? Clean windows allow you better to see things outside. Clean car windows are also safer for driving. If they’re not clean, then what can happen is it’s harder to see things when you’re driving into the sun. Smudgy, smeary windshields can also cause light refraction at night with oncoming cars’ headlights. Clean windows and windshields simply make life better, more pleasant, and safe.
What about the windows of our lives; do they need cleaning? How do you “see” God? Many people prejudge God because they really don’t understand Him. The windows of our hearts are dirty, smudgy, and smeary because of sin, which hinders and blocks our understanding of God. They need regular cleaning.
God invites us to look at Him through His window. In doing so, He invites us to now look at the world through His other windows. It’s a magnificent view when we look at God, the world, and others through the Windows of God!
Readings for the week: Genesis 9:8-17; Psalm 136:1-9, 26; Ephesians 3:14-21; Mark 6:45-56

Have a GREAT Week with God’s Windows! I love you guys! Dad
A Redeker Respite 
This is such a great topic to discuss. I was just looking into this topic last week and need to share a few things.
I have lived out many days choosing (free will), to live out life in justified hurt and pain that has been brought upon me. I sort of deserve to live in pain and bitterness because of everything that has happened, right? Sure… but I’ll tell ya, that’s a lot of pain we only bring upon ourselves, and that’s not a life of joy.
What Jesus says in John 15 has opened my eyes and heart.
John 15:4 – “Remain in me as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself, it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.”
John 15:10-11 – “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
What else does God say about who we are? So that I may learn to see myself as God sees me, through his windows.
I hope this has helped someone reading this. Blessings to everyone.
