Oh she SEES you the moment she SEES you.
You know she SEES you
because she LOOKS right into your eyes
with her
HEART EYES
that grab you.
All because she SEES everything
with her innocent HEART,
with her child's HEART,
because she is only three years old.
Our precious granddaughter
who really SEES your
CHILD'S HEART
that is tucked deeply inside of you
that beats just like hers.
Oh if we would stop and
SEE like she does,
with our HEART EYES
that LOOK with GRACE
that LOOK with JOY
that LOOK beyond the outside shells that we live in,
because we all have a CHILD tucked deep inside us
that is so innocently pure
that shouts out
DO YOU SEE ME?
DO YOU REALLY ME?
The ME who GOD created.
The ME who is
you & me & everyone else
as
no one is exempt from
GOD being our CREATOR.
GOD SEES YOU
as HE LOOKS at you
with GRACE
&
with JOY
that LOOKS beyond the outside shell that you live in.
Oh what you learn through the eyes of a child
who makes you be in the moment
that you want to last forever.
My hubby and I just spent time
with our granddaughter
and her precious brother
who also
SEES you with his whole being
with his HEART EYES,
his one your old HEART EYES
that kidnap you the moment he LOOKS at you
as if you are the only human that exists in that moment.
How old are your HEART EYES?
Oh I have such young HEART EYES
because
I am GOD'S CHILD
who became HIS DAUGHTER
the moment I LOOKED into
HIS SON'S EYES,
that life changing moment
when my HEART became
so FULL of GRACE
so INDESCRIBABLY FULL of JOY
as HE took every BROKEN part of my HEART
and as HE still takes every BROKEN part of my HEART
that HE SEES
that HE LOVES
with a LOVE that kidnaps you in the moment
that you never want to leave that moment.
Oh how SEEING LIFE with HEART EYES
keeps you LIVING FULLY in the moment.
Oh how GOD uses a little girl
to turn me into a little girl,
as I LOOKED into the eyes of my granddaughter
whose eyes were LOOKING at just a bunch of fish,
yet who she SAW with her whole HEART
that it was so contagious
that it made me LOOK at a just bunch a fish
as not just a bunch of fish
but as GOD'S CREATIONS
just as
I am
and you are
and everyone else is.
How old are your HEART EYES?
Make them like a one year old
&
make them a three year old
by being enveloped
in GOD'S GRACE
that makes you just want to jump on
HIS lap
as
HIS CHILD
and cuddle so closely
because
you know that
GOD SEES you so deeply
and LOVES you so deeply
even more than
an one year old
and a three year old
who SEES my HEART.
If I can be so captured by the great LOVE of these little beings
it is so overwhelming indescribable
"to grasp how wide and long and high and deep
is the LOVE OF CHRIST" (Ephesians 3:18)
that you just have to stop and BELIEVE with a CHILD LIKE HEART.
So is that why I wept so deeply
after
I LOOKED into the EYES of my grandchildren
when it was time to say goodbye
because
I LOVE them so deeply
and because they brought me back to my
FATHER'S LOVE
that SEES me as
HIS CHILD
and who wants me to SEE HIM beyond everything else that
strives to steal
the JOY that is tucked so deeply into my HEART.
No wonder my granddaughter
was so saddened when she had to say
goodbye to a bunch of fish,
yet told her mommy with such a JOY
that the striped fish LOOKED right at her.
Oh don't allow anything to come between
THE JOY
of BELIEVING like a CHILD
by having HEART EYES
that SEE FULLY
beyond
every distraction
every hurt
every past mistake
every present worry
every future fear
because you
SEE with your HEART EYES~
"SEE what great LOVE THE FATHER
has lavished on us, that we should be called
CHILDREN OF GOD" (I John 3:1).
Don't you SEE?
What is striving so deeply
to DISTRACT you from
SEEING so deeply with your
CHILD LIKE EYES?
Will you join me and experience life through
the EYES of a CHILD
by
FASTING from
SEEING
the distractions
and instead
be
DISTRACTED by BEING HIS CHILD
and
SEEING with
your HEART EYES
just like your
"FATHER'S EYES"
(listen to the song below)
