I heard a song today called my father's eyes by Amy Grant.
Genetically I do have green eyes just like my dad and have taken great pride in
them. This song however hit a deeper note as it talked about seeing with God's
eye's, having compassion, seeing the pain and seeing the good in things"
when good is not around". It was a great way to refocus on God on my
way to work (this morning's quiet and bible time already fading). I prayed and
have prayed in the past that I would have eyes to see the need around me and
the action to follow through in obedience. Unfortunately the wonderful
sentiment only lasted for the 20 minutes until I arrived at work and the
immediate "needs" pushed all things spiritual from mind. I think that
it is easy for me to want to negate the emotion that was stirred by the song
and become discouraged at my short memory but I believe that the Holy spirit is
at work in us and so all these "little" moments of awareness of God
and His desires continue to work away, making new genetic imprints in us.
