The Unseen World
Many times we forget the effect of the things we don't see. We aren't sympathetic to the emotional scars or the wounded heart of the people who irritate us because we don't see them. That child that is acting out in the classroom, can you see the rejection that is in his/her heart? Do you visualize the pain he/she must feel to have to strike out in hopes of relieving the burden? The bible says, the things that we don't see are permanent and it is what we do see that is temporary. So the pretend smile and the words that say it is okay is just a farce that hides the long-lasting turmoil that will never be revealed through carnal eyes. How do we take notice to this unseen world that greatly affects are daily lives? By seeing through our spiritual eyes we can discern what a person is truly saying. We will begin to speak and act differently knowing the outcome of our behavior. Remember we are mind, soul and body. What is done to the body will heal itself. However, what is done to the mind and soul is permanent.

Very interesting! And so true. A lot of what we see with our natural eyes isnt whats really there. Its take the decernment of God and patience to see what truly lies underneath the surface. Someone who say i hate you can realy be saying i love you so much it hurts and im scared. A child that shows signs of disobedience and disrespect may very well be saying i dont feel like im being heard unless i create havick, or i dont know where i belong and im unhappy with myself...they may even be saying i dont even know who i am. Today lets take the challenge to hear with our eyes and respond with our hearts. See beyond what we can see....
