I see I see ...say's the blind man

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” – 2 Chronicles 16:9

(inhale) I see you seeing me. (exhale) I want to see.

I love these breath prayers we are doing through this Lenten season. I want to continue to breathe with these. I wrote this one on my wrist the other day at work. Then, I thought to myself “hmmm someone reading my one wrist might be freaked out by reading I see you seeing me.” So I washed it off. Maybe I should have left it on.

I see you seeing me. And I want to live out loud and live in a way where I’m questioned. I want others to seek sight too. I know I’m very broken. I know my sight is blurred. I have to come daily, even on bright shiny days as this, for my eye exam. I don’t see others or myself the way God sees. I know that breaks God’s heart. I want our hearts to be whole and my eyes to be clear. I want to see.

I see you seeing me. And like the blind man I call out “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” I want to be pure at heart and see God in everything. And I want to hear God say “Go your faith has healed you.” I want to see.
