Here's looking at you kid!
Have you ever seen a little boy preparing to sing in the school Christmas play? Nervous hands and feet, crooked red bow tie he never wears and scared because he is desparately trying to remember the lyrics to the song. But then all the sudden the worry melts away from his face. Why? Because he sees his parents in the sea of faces, smiling, so proud of little Jimmy. I have also seen the face of children looking for the mom or dad missing in action. Maybe a promised attendance but once again falling short of expectations.
Why is it so important to see the face of your loved one? Because it reminds us of who we are and what we are made of. It proves that someone loves us unconditionally and we will never be alone. It fills our soul with joy and reassurance that we can make a difference. Are you still looking in the crowd for this face? Maybe it's not a Christmas play anymore but a workplace. You might be looking for this gaze of reassurance in your marriage or relationship. If you are looking for love, protection, safety, healing or that unconditional love, well I have good news today. You can find it in the eyes of Jesus. He has always been watching. With your nervous hands and feet, trying to be a perfect person and failing. Let your worries melt away as He looks at you right now.
Psalm 67:1
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, Selah
Blessings,
Pastor David
