Lord Let me See!

Driving home this morning I realized that God has given His children eyes to see what is unseen. The thought overwhelmed me as I looked back over the past year. I am moved at images of Anneke sitting in her kitchen, bald, dressed in a bath robe unable to discern whether her spoon was a cigarette or not. As she would place the spoon in her mouth and reach for her lighter then it would hit her that she can't smoke her spoon. These, at the time, where heartbreaking images. This women of elegance and beauty was "reduced" to a bath robe and no hair. However, now I look back and through the wisdom of God am able to understand that without that robe and without that bald head Anneke would be living on this planet dead in her sins. With the eyes of God lifes most tragic moments takes on a whole new meaning.

Honestly, I like being sad about things that are sad. But then God says to me like a Father showing a child something magical through a telescope "Come hear and look at this..." Then I see the same characters, the same surroundings but everything is drastically different. The Hand of God is over, in and around the people, situation, and surroundings and my perspective MUST change. Because with God all things are possible and therefore there is always hope and joy.

So again this morning as I was reflecting and allowing God's perspective to grab my heart... my thoughts wander to the future... there are so many hard things that I know await many people that I love, there are wonderful things too. Lord, Let me See (with Your eyes)!

Lord Let Me Know You

Lord you are knowable. You have revealed yourself, your love, your character in your word. Open our ears that you created, our hearts that you formed and our minds that you fashioned so we can know you, love you and understand your salvation through Christ's blood.

Lord Let Me Pray

Prayer is a precious way to communicate with God. We don't try to change God's mind, but we seek to commune with Him so that He can change our hearts. Through prayer we understand who God is and He opens our eyes to see how He is working, where He wants us to be, and we find peace when we don't understand because of All that He has revealed about Himself.

Please post prayer request here. He cares about everything so lets talk to Him about it!

Lord Let Me Sing

Lord Let Me Sing is a lyric from an Andrew Peterson song. I love to sing. The Lord has given me time after time to sing praises to Him, lead others in praise of Him and He has given my heart songs that are just for Him. He also gives me things to write about. All of which I find as another way to sing. I don't write things because I think people will read and be better for it, nor do I just write for the sake of writing. This page is for those times that He fills my heart and mind with something and I just need to let it out. If you are reading this, my prayer is that you would find Christ in the words and be changed by Him.
