Through His Eyes

We were on our bus heading off for festival, and Rebecca and I were listening to this Broadway Beauty and the Beast song called "When Somebody Loved Me." The lyrics went something like this...

When somebody loved me,
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart
And when
she was sad,
I was there to dry her tears
And when she
was happy,
So was I

And as I was listening to this song, I remember thinking, WOW the capacity the human heart holds for caring about another is so incredibly amazing. The way that a person can feel what another person feels because he or she simply cares enough to. Hurt. Pain. Happiness(: Whatever it is. That's so beautiful.

I think the reason God gave us this special ability was so that we'd be able to love Him enough to care about what He cares about. Because like that line in the song "When somebody loved me/ Everything was beautiful," if you really understood the wonderfulness of His love, everything would be so much more beauitful.

Today He gave me the first glimpse of His world. A world that was so much more beautiful than the way I had seen it. You see, oddly enough, today, everyone seemed to radiate their best qualities. Their warmth. Their humor. Their genuineness. Even with the people I had been so frustrated with in the past seemed to exude goodness. It might be weird to say, but I think I finally started seeing others for their heart. Which is SO much deeper, SO much more important than the act we all try to pull off. That's why I couldn't be angry with them even if I tried, because once you started looking into other people's hearts, you'd realize they're alot more like you than you'd ever imagine.

Through His eyes, He's able to see the good in us even when we fail or fall short of that glory. And I must admit, knowing that somebody loves you unconditionally makes you feel all giddy inside(: So be happy. loving. forgiving. and a little more grateful the good things in life.
