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)!
