i see you

Opening Prayer: Lord God, thank you that you always see me through the eyes of Jesus—through the eyes of love.  Help me to see myself that way.  Only then will I be able to see others that way as well.  Lord, have mercy.  Amen.

Scripture: Isaiah 62:5

Journal:  How do you think God sees you?  What goes on in his heart when he thinks about you?  How do you need to be seen by him these days?  What do you think he wants to tell you?  What would it mean if you could really believe that he rejoices over you the way a bridegroom rejoices over his bride?

Reflection:

i see you

there you go again
down that old familiar road
listening to the voices
telling you you’re not enough

lost inside yourself again
unable to find your way out
of the lies that you believe
about who you really are.

when will you let me show you
when will you let me tell you
when will you finally believe the truth
that there’s nothing in my heart but love
when i see you

i see you when you’re hiding
i see you when you’re fighting
i see you when you’re doubting
i see the mess inside

i see you when you’re playing a part 
i see you when you’re trying so hard
to make everyone believe 
that there’s something in you
worth loving

when will you let me show you
when will you let me tell you
when will you finally believe the truth
that there’s nothing in my heart but love
when i see you

i see you when you’re tired
i see you when you’re worn out
from trying to be everything to everyone
i see the you that i made you to be
a beautiful expression of my own heart
and i’m just wanting for the chance
to remind you of who that is

when will you let me show you
when will you let me tell you
when will you finally believe the truth
that there’s nothing in my heart but love
when i see you

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, my Heavenly Bridegroom, help me to see the love that is in your eyes—and heart—for me today.  For only then will I be able to believe that it’s true.  And only then will I be able to love others the way you made me to love them.  Amen.
