Seeing with the Eyes of Jesus
If I could see with the eyes of Jesus,
how beautiful the world would be!
Seeing the goodness, deep loving God-ness
within all life, enveloping me.
Seeing the incompleteness, the sadness,
emptiness, the dismay, yet knowing that the
rhythm of life is somehow complete in this way.
Loving it all, en-livening it all
around those eyes that see with a heart burning bright.
If I could see with the eyes of Jesus,
such a joy to be in others’ company.
So much to love, so much energy to live.
Alive, tender, alive and tender.
And it’s for others that I hope to see with Love’s eyes,
to be a vehicle of joy, or forgiveness, or healing or empathy.
Still, I’m often surprised at how joyful joy can be,
and that the eyes of Jesus see not only others,
but also see me.
