What He Sees

I wonder what it would be like to watch our Lord one day
I wonder what He sees us do or hear the words we say
I wonder if He smiles when we begin each day in prayer
Or when we stop to help someone or show how much we care

I bet he’d be so proud of us to see the poor we’ve fed
And see we’ve clothed the needy and put warm blankets on their bed
Then too, He’d likely shed a tear for those that lost their way
Or those that caused such broken hearts with bitter words they say

But then I’m sure He’d smile again to watch the children play
Or watch a mother teach her child the reasons why we pray
And then to me, this thought occurs His eyes will turn to me
Oh Lord I hope your smiling still when what I do you see.

Have you ever had one of those days when there are a dozen things on your desk and as you transition from one thing to another, you get interrupted- by God. At least I think it’s God.
In the middle of writing down what I had to do tomorrow and picking up a book to read, I stopped. I was looking at nothing in particular, nothing had caught my attention, but these are the thoughts that went through my head.

Will God answer my prayers? Does God have a good sence of humor? Why don't You stop pain & evil? Why are humans so easily manipulated? And what does He think about the way we are taking care of the earth? Questions. Your mind can just run away with itself or is it God?

And then I went back to what I was doing and I was interrutrd again - by God. Here are the thoughts that ran through my head.

What questions or advice God would have for me. As he shock his head saying "Vicki, Vicki, Vicki". God wouldn't ask me if I built a sucessful business, He would ask did I built a loving family? God wouldn't ask me how high my salary was, He would ask did I compromised my charater to attain it? God wouldn't ask me why I called on Him when things are tough, He would ask me did I praise Him when things are smooth. He wouldn't ask me why I didn't solve the world's problem, He will ask me did I love my neighbor? God wouldn't ask me how beautiful I looked, He will ask me did i see the beauty in others. He wouldn't ask me why I have so many questions, He will ask me did I search for the answers.

Moral of this Blog: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — His eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20
