The Eyes Of My Heart

There are moments my Lord, when I am alone with you that my passion runs high for the God of my creation and my mind struggles to imagine what my eyes cannot see. Moments when my heart races at the thought of what it will be like to be in the house of my Father. The place where your heart rules over hearts seeking your own and the enemy is no more. The place where all that exists is holy and pure and fashioned from the beauty of your heart, a place that evil never touched. These are moments when my mind wonders and I consider your everlasting greatness and immeasurable power. Moments when my mind can't resist the desire to see the God of all the universe whose throne sits high beyond the stars. Moments of longing when it struggles to imagine what no man could conceive. But in those moments when my imagination strains to create the image that no man knows, my heart speaks fondly of the God it would recognize in an instant.

The face is gentle, it is that of a loving and all knowing father that shines bright with the unimaginable Holy power of the one true God. Your eyes are filled with compassion for those who suffer, love for those who love you and yet burn with anger for those who abuse your love or the children of your heart. They see everything and nothing escapes your gaze. Evil cannot hide from them and darkness cannot conceal from them. They sparkle with joy at the thought of your children and blaze at the presence of evil. Your ears can hear the inaudible whispers of the repentant soul and the silent cry of an honest heart, but turn deaf to the wicked. To your ears, the sound of evil is an unbearable noise that grieves your heart, but they joy to hear the song of righteous hearts and enjoy the music of praise from those true to your love.

Your nose can discern the fragrance of souls from afar to tell the difference between the sweet smell of your true children from the stench of the world around them. One blast from your nostrils could bring destruction to all that men know, but the breath of them can give life where none existed. From your mouth comes all truth and all goodness, for you are their author. Your words move all of the heavens and the earth and nothing can resist the commandment from your lips. Even the stars, the planets and all of the elements of the earth obey your words, for they know the voice of their master.

Men may ask how we can know these things. But your word is your portrait and the best in us as measured by your word, is the mere shadow of your reflection in the mirror of our lives. For we are made in your image and any that is holy and pure and good in us is inherited from your image. You are seen by those who will see you, but hidden from those who refuse or won't take time to see. Your smile can be seen on the face of a newborn's father and in the loving gaze of a devoted mother. Your tears can be seen on the cheeks of the compassionate and your hands are seen reaching for those who suffer and when lifting the downtrodden. Your embrace is felt in the arms of those who love unconditionally and your love is given from the hearts of those who love purely. Blessed are the eyes of my heart to see the face of my Father when my minds eye cannot conceive and the eyes of my body are blind to your image. The eyes of my heart see that you are beautiful beyond the ability of my words to describe and give confident knowledge to my mind to seek that which it cannot see.

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
