Open the Eyes of My Heart....

This is a picture of my 2 beautiful Dominican friends Josie and Julia.













I realized that a lot of my life I spend my time looking at people out of my own eyes- my human eyes, that see human things.. (appearance, status, etc.)

Then the other day some of us were sitting around with a guitar singing the song (an oldie but a goodie) "Open the Eyes of my Heart" and it hit me...open the eyes of my heart. I'm sick of seeing out of my human eyes, it's time to see people, ALL people out of the eyes of my heart....Dominican, American, poor, sick, homeless, rich. It's time to look past human things and look into what God sees. God help me to see people as you see them, to love them liek you love them....open the eyes of my heart.

I love it how one person in one corner of the world (you) can challenge and encourage another person in a completely different corner of the world (me). Don't you love the way you're growing?

Meant to spell smile, not smaile. Mark distracted me while I was typing. :)
