Folks, there is nothing more important to me than seeing
the world, nature, people, and myself through God’s eyes of Love. This prayer,
whose author I do not know, expresses what I have come to know and experience,
in a very real and living way, in my art and in my life.
I love You Lord, I love Who you are!
I look at nature – swirling, vast, fascinating and heart-stopping
wonder and detail, and I love You. It is You – Your touch is there –
everywhere.
Who was there before You? No-one – no-one instructed You
or gave you wisdom. You made it all, and You made it all for me.
I look at little children faces full of your innocence
and truth, and I see You there. Delicate sweetness, sensitive love such holy
beauty, as if they just dropped out of heaven where they heard your heart beat
and saw your smile.
I see Your mercy with the old, the sick, the lost, the
beggars, and it’s You. But then I think further, how You love those who hate
You, spit on You, persecute You, and I cry – how can such love be?
I look at my life. How it was transformed by mercy, once
a mess, but now something beautiful – I recognize every bit of that something
is You. Patiently, lovingly, gently, you taught me to rest, to simply
appreciate Your work, and taught me to dance with You.
I look at Your dream, and I find myself there at its
center!
Your every thought and every breath concerned with me. Likeness
finding likeness, it simply overwhelms me! I perceive everything You’ve done
was to convince me this is not only a dream, but the most real and eternal
matter in existence! Sealed with Your own blood.
What lies ahead is only more
of You!
