word for the day: look
start.
there is something about the look of love. the way that he looks at him. the way the other looks at me behind the camera.
in the midst of the busy-ness of life, i find there are times when life slows suddenly to a present moment and i am able to really look at those around me and see.
see who they are - look into their eyes, beyond their actions and words. i study the uniqueness of their features... the structure of the cheekbones or specific hue of the eyes. my heart melts a bit from prior hardness and walls protecting to just get through the tasks of the day and i feel the realness of relationship.
i wonder, is this how He looks at me? while holding the whole universe together in Himself, does He pause when He catches my eye and really look into me and feel the warmth rise up in His heart that i feel when i look at one of my little ones? does He see past my changing actions and fleeting words and see into who i am?
you have ravished my heart with one glance of your eye... songs of song 4:9
He really sees.
