"Looking Through God's Eyes" ~ Daily Reflections

Looking Through God's Eyes They say that God is everywhere protecting you and me, They say that every move we make God watches and he sees. I walked into my neighborhood to see what God had done, To see what little kids were doing, how they were having fun.

At the first corner I saw a homeless family at a soup kitchen, How could God be with these people, and with many others I do not mention? I walked on and saw a little boy with no arms in a wheelchair, How could God be so cruel, and not show this boy any love or care?

A school violence victim was next to cross my path, How could God let this little girl fall into violence's wrath? Lastly was a loner reading his Bible, while other kids passed him by, How could God not give this boy any friends, why, God, oh why?

A thought struck me, and I stopped and looked around, For these people were not lost, they were God's servants; they were found. I thought back to the soup kitchen, God was giving them food and a residence, I thought back to the handicapped boy, God was giving him peace and joy in his presence. I thought back to the little girl, God kept her was safe and sound, I thought back to the loner, God was helping him become heaven-bound.

If I look at the bad, that's all that I will I see, We must look at it through God's eyes, Not through the eyes of you or me. Author ~ Lane Nelson
