Can You See?
Sometimes I look at you instead of Him.
And when I look at you, I see my version of your life instead of His, and then I don’t love you very well. Or sometimes I love you better. Either way, there is a log in my view which obstructs seeing things the way He does.
I see out of the broken. He sees out of the whole.
I’m asking for His eyes so that I can love you well.
So that I can see you, and you can see me, and we can really love each other.
And here in the broken meeting the whole grace makes sense. Grace covers the incomplete.
The truth is, grace.
So love.

Wow this is a powerful post! I LOVE it! May I ask what inspired you to write it, without going into detail (of course) because every time I read a post like this I wonder there is more behind those few words.
Is there anything you would need prayers for?
Have a great evening
In CHrist

This is so much like my own prayer to the Lord this morning. I don't want to love in any way that isn't Christlike because it gets ALL screwed up for everyone involved. Oh, to only love that way. He is able, though, and I believe Him for it.
