Joining The Gypsy Mama and a beautiful community that is a true blessing. We write short posts on Fridays — just 5 minutes of writing from a word, a prompt. Today it is SEE.

I hear it clearly — just as if He is standing before me, speaking, yet I hear it in my heart,

“Have inner eyes that see.”

I know what He is saying to me. I know why He is saying it. Well, at least in part I do. You see, sometimes I fear the success of others, as if God doesn’t have enough to go around. Sometimes I fear the success of others as if their success confirms my failure. Like an immature child. I know.

The good works I am to do and the paths I am to walk in have been already laid out. With His Word as my lamp on my feet, I just need to move forward and I will see these dreams that He is waiting so patiently for me to call my own. These hopes that I dare to imagine. In order to see them — I must walk — I must walk by faith, with inner eyes that see so much greater, so much bigger, so much more than what is before me plain to see.

Dare I believe that God will do exceedingly abundantly above all that I could ask or think by the power that works within me? Yes.

I walk by faith and not by sight — give me inner eyes, Lord, that I might see.
