This is a snippet from the devotional I am currently reading, entitled "Edges of His Ways" by Amy Carmichael... I found this entry amazingly profound and inspiring....enjoy!
"Several evenings lately we have seen something very beautiful. It was, as it were, a sunset in the east. To the west there was not the faintest hint of colour. The mountains were dark against a dark sky. Heavy clouds, indigo blue and grey, lay over the forest. There was no light in the west, and yet the eastern sky was aglow. The plains lay like jewelled carpet, and the sky was golden and then a soft rose-pink. That sky saw what we could not see. It was looking at and reflecting that great glory.

Was it not a lovely parable?"
