Which specs are you wearing?

When you see the word "specs", what comes to mind? one of the most obvious things which come to mind are eyes aye? but then names of some brands like Vogue, D&G or Versace come to mind. Now let's talk about spiritual specs... Would you wear a nice fancy and expensive pair of specs with lots of diamonds, that can easily break if it falls? or a strong pair of specs [not that fancy], but which will last for your whole life?

So today, i had a chemistry practical.. and you gotta use your eyes a lot cause you need to look at the values on the burettes and stuff at eye level [it was titration for those who know chemistry xD] and this was my first lesson, starting at 8 in d morning, so i needed good eyesight :P our teacher kept reminding us to wear our safety specs to avoid gettin blinded by acid drops flying out of the apparatus... [and in the same way, so does God keeps on reminding us some time or another] some of us asked him if we could stay with our normal specs, but he said acid drops could easily pass through and hit our eyes... and then, we all decided to wear our safety ones [even if they might not be THAT stylish]...its worse losing an eye than losing a leg cause u can still live a fine life.. but losing your eyesight is a greater loss [but thats just my opinion..] cause you might not see the light again.. and that's what happens when we wear the wrong pair of specs for a really long time, when we decide to please our flesh, we keep on pushing the voice of truth away and we kinda stop seeing the true Light!

So what this really means is, you need specs, and not only for a chemistry practical but also for your personal christian life... sprays of acid will keep on "attacking" your eyesight.. and acid, being corrosive, will damage your pretty fancy specs [apart from your eyes]! so you need strong ones, which will endure anything! so let's wear God's pair of specs!! :) today during the adoration, i took off my specs and at that same moment i felt God telling me: wear my specs, mar, so you'll see the world through my eyes!! and that's what i really wana do in life, to stop seeing through the specs of materialism, judgment, jealousy, depression or anything that might be gettin in the middle of my relationship with Jesus :) or you need to clean them a bit? what do you think? will we wear the pair of safety specs which God is providing us with?:) they might not be that stylish, in the sense the world thinks is stylish, cause maybe the world would be bombarding you with so many contradictive things, but MIND YOU! He'll surely give you a pair that would suit you ;) and it would really allow you to see the "LOVE" picture!!

And today, i had another double biology practical... and we had to use our eyes again to look under the light microscope :) so God's been using our nice pair of eyes quite a lot today, aye? insomma and we observed a hydra [its a really tiny living thing found in the sea] and twas so cute!! and at that moment i said, illami small things as these do exist!! and sometimes we might wear the specs with the "miniscule" lens? where we see ourselves like small tiny dots compared to other people, and think we're too small to be used by God or too 'ugly' to be liked by a guy or girl? well guess what!!:D God's offering you the specs with the "magnifying" lens!! He wants you to see what a beautiful creation u are to Him, what an amazing irreplacable child you are to Him!! forget the miniscule lens and turn to the magnifying lens!! you're a great person in God's image :)

So which pair of specs would you like to try on, sir/madame? xD
It's up to you now!

Blessings and more Blessings

I think God's a grand designer, and by the end of it we'll realise that our glasses are the coolest, and cos theyre unique they're even more special and totally top-of-the range! (Bought with blood, see?)

[xD that came out like a pun, which i decided is intended :P]
