I didn't want to look, but for the first time I saw myself through His eyes. He told me I was beautiful. And, for the first time in my life I knew I was. God taught me about seeing others at the altar. I used to self-consciously stare at the floor. Uncomfortable. One day as I made my altar routine for the umpteenth time, I heard God say "Look up." I began to look out at the faces looking back. God always shows me the person I'm about to pray for - He starts to talk to me about them. Sometimes they come forward and sometimes not. But for the moments we make eye contact - I believe God is speaking to us both. Great post. I loved all your stories from last week. I am going to borrow Rose's words about living in the Kingdom. My favorite quote of the day. :) MB It happened to me one night as God had me look in the mirror after a messy session of me and Him confession on the living room floor.

I can stand and say that because only recently have I understood that Jesus looked at me a long time ago and He has never quit looking. It was me that wouldn't look up and see His gaze on me. But recently I hear Him asked me to look at Him, to lift my head and lift my eyes as His daughter, I was obedient and He is faithful. Words cannot explain or express what it means to be "looked upon" by God. Yes, Bob, these things still happen today.

I am amazed how Jesus "looked" at people. I've wanted to write a blog on this same topic. Maybe I will soon. I also enjoyed your blog "Lessons From the Vine" as well. I too recently blogged about how God spoke to me through trees. Your posts have been real timely, and I appreciate your writings. Thank you.

Aligns with want Christine Caine spoke about crossing the street. God is so good to bring a steady word to those who will give it a voice in an arena where people will not only listen but hear.
