Open Your Eyes

"Open Your Eyes" by: Eric L. Boddie In my quest to find the Light I found so many things hidden in plain sight A simple question of why is what I asked of Christ He Said "He Who Searches For Me Will Be Found By Him Who Denies Life But He Is Already Defeated By The Power Of My Blood" At that very moment, I truly understood that Love won't drag you through the mud So many speak of Christ, The Greatest Sacrifice There Ever Was And then they turn around and do exactly as satan does What if a known terrorist wanted to Worship with you and yours Would you welcome him in or intentionally close the doors Maybe the reason they are terrorists is perhaps no one ever showed them Love Obviously they fell to satan, but anything can be Forgiven As Long As Time Is Still Granted From Above Why do so many need last suppers when the Word Says you never need to see His Face Faith Is The Blindest Light That Can Brighten Any Space We can have more than we need, but still, we want more Have we really forgotten what an abundance is truly for When did sharing become a crime, what if you were in need So many have lost everything on their journeys to greed And I really don't care what you believe, I am just telling you the Truth But don't take my word for it, Sincerely Ask God, He Will Provide All The Needed Proof

An interesting post, Eric, full of spiritual thoughts worth pondering. You have covered a lot in your piece and have written your thoughts in creative verse. Love that last line which encapsulates it all. God's creation, His Son, His Word and the Holy Spirit are all ways he reveals Himself to mankind. What more evidence could a person need?
