TOPIC: Make My Brown Eyes Blue

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Matthew 16:24-28

KEY VERSE: Whoever loses their life for me will find it – Matthew 16:25

As a young girl, Amy Carmichael (1867–1951) wished she had blue eyes instead of brown. She even prayed that God would change her eye colour and was disappointed when it didn’t happen. When she was twenty, Amy felt that God wanted her to share the good news of Jesus in other countries. After a while she ended up in India. It was then that she realised God’s wisdom in the way He had made her. She may have had a more difficult time fitting in with the brown eyed people if her eyes had been blue. She went on to live in India for fifty-five years.

We don’t know for sure that Amy was more accepted because of her eye colour. But we do know and believe that it is God “who made us, and we are his” (Ps. 100:3). As we follow Him and trust His wisdom in everything, we can live for Him no matter where we end up.

Amy knew what it meant to trust God. When asked about her life, she said, “Living for God is simply a chance to die.” Jesus said, “Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it” (Matt. 16:25).

That describes what Jesus wants for all of us today as well—total surrender to Him. May we put ourselves to one side and completely trust God’s plans for us.

REFLECT: EVEN WHEN THINGS DON’T GO HOW WE WANT, WE CAN KNOW GOD IS AT WORK.
