Lately the prayer that seems to keep spilling forth from my heart has been that I could see. I think to some extent we are all blind. I know I am. I want to see what most think is either nonexistant or invisible. Those deeper things of the spirit that we can't strive to see with our frail physical eyes. I just finished reading a book by James Rubart called "Soul's Gate." This book inspired me to inquire more of the Lord than I have before, seeing how God was opening the eyes of these characters to see people in the Spirit and to look into the spiritual realm to see the battle going on around them. Even the novel I am writing has similar themes, and I know it is because there is something in my spirit that is crying out to see more, because I know it's not only possible, but how we are called to live. So I just keep asking that I could see more so that I can know more of what this life I've chosen to live really means.
I want to look at the people around me in my life and even before noticing their outward appearance, see them through God's eyes. See who they are in the spirit. I believe if we treat people as if they are truly this person God shows us in the spirit, even if they are not currently living up to it, they will begin to. I want to see that happen, more and more. I want to see how much God loves and cares for each person, and how much freedom He really wants for them.
Let me see, God.
