She smiles constantly; always speaking of the beautiful things in life. There is delight in her eyes when she speaks. I feel at peace and refreshed when in her company. Even when things are hard, it never comes out because she sees things in their glory. She sees the world beyond the grey sky and mist fall of dreary droplets. The world cries, hearts break, the dirt and grime of the sinful world collect and multiply day by day, and yet she still sees beauty. She is the dancing sunshine through the clouded day.
I wonder often what it is that she sees. My heart only feels the heart break of the people all about me. I cry and mourn for them unable to do anything save to pray. And though I know that it is good to pray and sympathize with their pain, I feel that I am missing something. I am missing the simple joy of being alive for another day; of the beauty that God created all around me. I am missing out on the smiles and delight that God created for me.
I want God to open my eyes to the world that she sees. I want to see beyond the grey sky into the heart of God which surrounds me everyday. There is so much beauty in this world, in these people that hurt and cry. I want God to show me that beauty and I want to meditate on that joy and let that joy shine in my eyes and in my heart, the same way it does in the eyes of that beautiful girl, glowing with the radiance of Christ.
Open my eyes God, to You, and Your beauty, and the things You have created just for me!
