Eyes That
Do Not See
by
Barbara Philbrook
Throughout
the old testament the coming of a Savior was told,
but when He arrived the reception was bitterly cold.
Many words
had been told to tell them what to expect,
yet when He came, He was greeted with disrespect.
Love and
healing was what He offered to each,
it was His greatest desire to enlighten and teach.
Reaching
out to those who thirsted for truth,
He wants us each to return to the faith of our youth.
"Except
you be converted and become as little children,
the Kingdom of Heaven you shall not enter in"
Jesus said
those very words in Matthew eighteen verse three,
open your Bible and you too will see.
We must
seek to see with our eyes open wide,
then we must invite Jesus to come within to reside.
The faith
needed is bestowed freely from above,
God provides it purely out of deep love.
If you
need more faith just ask for it in prayer,
our heavenly Father answers every request sent there.
Our eyes
are blinded by the sins of this world,
but God desires to open them so His truths will be
unfurled.
The
writers of the Bible were led by the Holy Spirit as to
what to say,
we need His interpretation in the very same way.
Our eyes
are then opened and our comprehension expands,
what once seemed foreign we now understand.
Eyes that
do not see what the Savior did,
eyes that can be opened to reveal what once lay hid.
