Seeing

Every couple of years I go to the eye doctor to get my eyes examined, and the last time I was there the optician reminded me of a forgotten fact:  we don't really see with our eyes.  The image comes through the cornea and bounces onto the retina at the back of the eyeball.  From there, electric impulses take the image to the part of the brain where it can then be "seen."  People can have healthy-looking eyes, big and beautiful, but not be able to see if the receiving part of their brain is damaged.

In a spiritual sense, God gives his children a special way of looking at things that other people don't have.  He supplies his followers with a keener vision, a deeper understanding.  Today, ask God to help you see beyond the physical plane.  Perhaps there is some need a friend or loved one has, a need that is hidden by brave words or disguised actions.  Reach out in love to heal their hurts.  "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."  (1 Cor. 2:9)
