The look of love is in His eyes…and my eyes are on this prize

The impostor, the actor, the deceiver…

the accuser, the thief, the liar…

the evil one, the enemy…

certainly does destroy relationships

and minds…when the armor is left behind…


The whispers of sweet ‘nothings’

when sleeping unawares

must be silenced quickly

in order to remain without cares

the Lord whispers of ‘some things’

are wondrous and true

no doubt will appear as

He shares His love with you


Oh how simply atrocious to find

that sorrow sneaks in

when escapes from the world are passed by

instead of chasing a life of comfort and ease

although difficulties may arise

is worth it to leave this life of disease

and to find such plenteous love

that cannot be found in another

than from the Father above


And as a child growing up

and as an adult such unrest

and the love thought needed from some

was limited at best

the empty places and hurts

are to be filled up and removed

with the only true love

where eyes can receive

a clear picture of love

and sometimes hard to believe


But a fraud emerges when the heart hides away…

when the disguise is still there…

at the end of the day…

must hidden places be kept?

safe and clean out of sight?

for who can be trusted?

with a heart so fragile with fright?

Only One that I know…

and this is for sure.


Truth can be told…

when the truth becomes clearer…

but at times truth is to hold…

until silence appears

in waiting on the Lord

and sitting still brings strength

and it is blessed to learn direct

from the Lord as I pray


His correction is gentle

His forgiveness complete

His love everlasting

and forever I’ll be

held in the palm of His hand


Why leave His hand?

in search of anything?

thank God it remains open

and He beckons and calls

my child return to Me

and seeing how He leads

and He answers my cries

He comforts my soul

brings peace and clarity to mind

and gives joy to my heart

as He does all He does

without any physical evidence

of His perfect love


So this face that would drop

for even a moment of time…

a look away…

to another…

in admiration or design…

is too dangerous for me…

but I know as I breathe

that He wants me to believe

and to love others as much as He

and also myself which is my daily plea


So a look of love

a word of love

a song of love

for me…for you

as I praise His name

and I exalt The Father

and I truly keep my eyes on none other

Lord, let thy will be done

let this test be passed

let my words be true

as I live my life in love with you, myself and others


May compassion be evident in the body of Christ

As we seek to show your face of love…your look of love


Grace so sufficient, I cannot comprehend.

Love so amazing, it’s all part of His plan.

Joy so abounding, by His strength in my life.

Faith in my Father as Jesus is the center of my life.

About Me

My photo
Hopkins, Minnesota, United States
A mother of two adult children...and a mother to many more adopted in the Kingdom of God. Grandmother to three. Lover of Jesus, The Way, The Truth, The Life, justice, learning, teaching, authenticity, discernment, and praying. I process by writing my thoughts to get to the truth...but most times there are too many words to wade through. A picture of myself I've seen, is like a scuba diver who jumps in the ocean with all the equipment in place, but rises too quickly at times and gets nauseated, but the picture is only a warning...not that I shouldn't go deep...but to come up more slowly in order to keep...my health.
