Ann poses a question, “How are you seeing Jesus?”, and I start thinking. Not how I have seen Him but how I am seeing Him.
In the now and everyday, living and breathing moments, where do I find the One who says, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
As my husband and I take a sunset walk along the waters edge near our home, we pause to take a picture. How many times do we walk beneath this light-gilded gallery of sky art without taking notice?
God himself painting our days and nights with continually changing colors, drawing our eyes upward, stroking our hearts and our imaginations as He brushes His signature onto another one of His masterful designs.
Might these be the fingerprints of Almighty God? Could it be His invisible hands that led me here to this lighthouse to remind me that He is my guiding light, my safe harbor?
I take note of the brilliant light encircling the landscape. And I sense the love of the eternal One encircling me. He is here. El Roi, “the God who sees”, is watching over me.
So I ask Him.
Lord, please help me to be more perceptive to your presence, your touch. Keep my eyes wide open, ever seeking you. I am human and my limitations are obvious. But, in spite of that, help me to observe the supernatural in the natural world around me. I want always to be able to see the God who sees me.
