"Looking For Love"

Christ asks that He may use my eyes today
I give him my sleep eyes

in hopes that I will wake up myself
as the Holy Spirit looks through me.

Right now my eyes are firmly
attached to my tired Monday morning body.

It is a funny thing that being
awake in Christ is much more

believable after getting a good night's sleep.
I keep thinking if I could

just sleep 8 hours a night
I would feel alive, refreshed, happy even.

But what if the key to feeling rested
was to let the Holy Spirit look through me?

Wouldn't the radiating love
and flow of natural forgiveness

plump my cells, strengthen
my heart and smooth my wrinkles

more that 8 perfect hours of sleep?
How do I let the Holy spirit look

and not get in the way?
I am willing to find out.

Holy Spirit I am willing to be just
as I am and quietly let

you peer through my eyes
that I might fall into

salvation as easily as I
could fall in love.

This is truly incredible. You are so human and frail; yet so open to Christ. I must think that He holds you gently in his heart and his hand even when you hurt too badly to know it.
