My daddy’s giving me a new pair of glasses


  1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord told Samuel, “Don’t look at his appearance or how tall he is, because I have rejected him. God does not see as humans see.[a]Humans look at outward appearances, but the Lord looks into the heart.”

We see  Leah unwanted left to her own,
Her daddy saw and opened her womb.
In David we see adulterer,
His daddy saw a heart like no other.

I see pain and fear.
My daddy sees beyond the tears
My eyes see brokenness
My daddy see’s wholeness
  I discern faults and fissures
His heavenly thoughts often differ
I see backsliding sinner
He knows who is truly the winner

My daddy’s giving me a new pair of glasses

My sight temporal
My daddy’s view eternal 
I see lost and discouraged
My daddy see’s Faith and courage.
I see only the physical
The spirit moves in the Invisible
I need a quantitative analysis
My daddy works in the miraculous

My daddy’s giving me a new pair of glasses
His spirit is fashioning a pair without scratches
 His glasses are painting a whole new picture
Giving me a view that’s in sync with scripture.
Aligning my sight with his heart
An image that only His son could impart

2 Kings 6:17-20 (NIV) "And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."
