Eyes are windows to the soul. To seek the Gaze of God is to learn this valuable life lesson.
To seek contact with the Lord through the honesty of the eyes. Love loves honesty. The meeting of the eyes. Staring straight, eye to eye. The seek, not the hide of the search and need for compassion from the most High. Who does and is never willing to look
Down on you.
while you feel side by side with the lowly.
Perhaps you are confused right now. Perhaps you think what I really meant was searching for wurber Parker, or searching the web by choices of styles and stylish Ray-bans and 800 CONTACTS? The snazzy frames?
Nope.
What is you plan for YOUR Life. And to find it. Will you play the game of :
Hide and Seek
Seek to Seek
Week to week
Day by Day.
Hour by hour.
Fib to Lib
Liberate yourself at all costs. From the pain? From your pain? May I suggest a remedy? Why don’t you go and
Climb a tree.
Have a sit, pop a squat, relax on a branch. A branch with intent to reach out of the strong trunk that is holding you up there and just ponder. Look at the view. Look beyond the view. Seek what it is you want from your life. What you want to give from your life. Quietly pray for the strength to seek and not hide.
Even if and when sometimes your doing so results in you looking ridiculous. The way you choose to climb, reach out and/or plop down. On the branch you offer for a more complete and honest-filled existence.
Hoping all the while. There is little, if any point in trying to control everything—the function of everything, the insidious continued gain of function. Whether it was or was not created by intent to harm —we have no other choice than to let the insurance brokers do their job. And pray like the dickens that they have your heart on their minds.
Or do we still have a choice? When is the moment it is “taken” from us. Again. Pray like the dickens that the brokers have your heart on their minds. Sadly, weirdly mostly understandingly
I have my doubts. Money is the root of all evil. A sad truth. A fixable truth. Again. A sad truth. In our nowadays world, going, going gone before the ink is dry, the check has cashed and the stitch is sutured shut. Do you, seek to convert the heart of the violent? Do you seek to convert the art of the violent?
God does.
Seek the truth. Always and Everyday. Truth and Falsehood. Truth goes down fighting. Falsehood “settles” and is too weak to fight. In order to save what was lost one has to have cared about it in the first place. That is why the Gaze of God is so meaningful. To seek out.
God knows our hearts.
Phew. As in “Oh what a relief it is” Almost as good as an Ulka Seltzer tablet. But, far, far better to absorb, to seek the Gaze of God. To put in modern terms, God is the ultimate baloney-meter. He has the ability to see right through you like the most powerful X—ray machine on the planet. Funny how He does that because he is not with us in person down here, but always ever-present in our lives if we
Seek Him and not Hide from Him all of our faults, failings, errors and doubts.
Doubt is one of the strongest, but also one of the best. Doubt keeps us “going back for more” to get the correct answer from the ultimate Teacher. The most important and great thing is, is He has no “office hours” as he is always available to you.
Ready, willing and able. To teach you any lesson, any time, of any day. What a great gig.
Now. While sitting up on that branch. Up in that tree. What is it you seek? Salvation? Repentance? A check.
Better vision?
Looking in the mirror over and over and over really does not change much. You are still you. Do you like what you see? We may want to think about the way to “check yourself before you wreck yourself” (AWA) before passing along the “joy” to the next guy. Before waiting for the “check is in the mail”, that never comes your way.
A meeting of the minds. Actually. A meeting of the eyes is far more productive. Just pay attention, close attention to see who looks away first. There is possibly the very strong answer you seek. It is so easy to “hide” behind digital buttons and screens. To take advantage of a situation.
To look deep into another person’s eyes is the ultimate eye examination. To see who they really are, what they are really made of. Strength, Weakness, Circumstantially crushed by the weight of supposed inadequacies. Supposed errors in life.
We have all been there. Or here. Here is not better than there. There is not better than here. The baggage comes along for the ride wherever you may lay your hat. Dirty laundry and all. Hiding it on the bottom only causes it to stick up the rest of the designer stuff.
Running away from it and it generally catches up to you-one way or another. Ridiculous. Yep. Loneliness knows the mire which he finds self. Projection onto others-a price of no measure. No consequence means lack of ownership.
And. It ain’t pretty. Does not mean one must self-martyr. Their self. Their “plan”, their plan, or their plan. But it does require a state of realness, respect and repentance few may bother to ask about correctly. The back door is so inviting sometimes.
That is where the violence comes in. Convert the violent who take advantage of the situation. (PF) Agreeable in theory. But in reality.
I got nothing.
Nothing to gain. nothing to lose. My eyes choose to gaze in a different direction than you. And that is. Up. To an Honest Teacher. Not down on you who may choose to play hide and seek. Or simply close your eyes when it gets “ugly”. And laugh or look away.
Decisive.
I believe so.
Strength.
Feel that too.
