I wonder how looking through the eyes of the heart will change my view of life? Will my heart and brain have the same view? What will I discover about myself, about the world around me, about God? I am not a writer and yet I have a need to give voice to the thoughts that come, some slowly like a flower opening others quickly like a train rushing past. I wonder if what I see with my heart will change forever how I view life through my visual eyes. The other day I took a picture of the mountains at sunset. The picture I took with my minds eye had so much more detail than the picture I captured with my camera. The imprint in my mind remained vivid for sometime but then slowly the details began to fade. It was then, when I had only the picture in my camera, devoid of the small details that made the other so spectacular, I realized how much I sometimes miss. I began to wonder how my picture of God changes, what details that only I might find important do I miss, when I spend less time observing Him. When I spend more time reviewing someone Else's picture of who He is, I have less time to let the eyes of my heart see the details that He put there for me to see. I can still enjoy the picture but what about the spectacular details? What makes me notice the small things with my hearts eye? For me its the experience, the smells, the sounds, the feel of the air all compound to help me capture the smallest details. I am on this great adventure called "The Christian Life" and I hope to find the details that make it an incredible journey. I will look through the eyes of my heart to find the lessons each day. What about you? What little thing that you saw, heard, felt or tasted gave you a detail of God?
