His Eyes, Not Mine

I am reading a book for a study break and stumbled across this quote. And hear are some thoughts about it.

"I needed to start looking at life through God's eyes instead of my own. Because God was in complete control, all of this loneliness, all this pain, all this patience, would one day pay off. One day it would all, hopefully, make sense."

Dear Jesus,

Please help me to do this look through your eyes right now. Remember that you placed passion for caring for others, that my care would be a channel to heal their hearts. That the tears that I cry would not go to waste and that the time of waiting would be a place to grow. Let me remember that you have place me here in this loneliness to rely on you more then anyone else and that my decisions, my actions, my dreams are to see that you are glorified and that you be recognized. Do not let me forget that it is through these times it is your strength that is getting me through and not my own. You have a story planned out for me and may I embrace it with joy knowing that out of it I may become more and more complete, the princess you created me to be. May the beauty that I portray simply be a reflection of your radiance shining through me and let me never forget that I am willing to go. That there are people who need to hear and that I am willing to tell. Obstacles of language, fear, distance, debt stand in my way but you are conquerors of all these things. In the mean time show me ways not to compromise who I am in you to reach people that are around me now. Let me see the common ground or help me make one to reach you lost children, let them see you through me.

Your Lover
