Through the Eyes of Love

Through the Eyes of Love I see you in your morning prayer - Look as you raise your hands in praise; Overhear your voices sing to God Ev’ry hour of the day; Watch you hold a dying hand Feed the hungry and the poor Then witness you visit prisoners Welcome strangers at your door. In the silence of the night You lift up heartfelt prayers; You clothe the homeless wanderers Shoeless and threadbare; Give a cup of water To the sick and thirsting souls Then carry a companion’s cross Clear eyesight - their pain enfold. Mindful as you teach the children The all seeing love of God; And, in the face of blindness You make choices to choose love; The visions of these miracles Fills my sight with awe - How could my heart not feel gratitude For this love without a flaw? I thank my God For the gift to see with eyes of love All the blessings your hands create Reflections of our God above; A servant’s heart on display Profound revealed in simplicity Priceless gifts to frail humanity Wrapped in your humility Based on Phil 1:3 Contest: The Eyes of Love Sponsor: Mystic Rose Rose 7-13-21

Brian, I am deeply honored. Thank you! This poem was inspired by the hundreds of people I have met over the years of my music ministry who put their faith into action. They are awesome inspiration. It is dedicated to them for they have taught me about seeing with the "eyes of love." Thank you Brian for all that you do in your ministry on PS and for your "prize winner +." :)" Blessings.

Thank you so much Gina! So many people inspired this poem. So honored by your fav. And so I say to you dear friend "I thank my God when I remember you!" For me it is a foundation for a servant's heart. This is one of my all time favorite scriptures. Blessings and a hug.

Thank you dearest Mala, many times over. Agreed!! This poem was born out of the passage "I thank my God when I remember you." It is one of my scripture guides and got me to thinking about the people who daily put their beliefs into the work of their hands. And so I say to you as well dear friend "I thank my God when I remember you!" Blessings.

Thank you dear Marilene! I find if I try to stay focused on God's goodness all around me, under God's awesome wings, there is no room for darkness. Some call me a Pollyanna but life beneath those wings is an amazing experience - not without challenges but always amazing! Blessings to you dear friend.
