Through Your Eyes

Through your eyes, you see a deviant. Someone
capable and willing to deceive for her own benefit.
In His eyes I am perfectly made, working passed the flesh.

Through your ears you hear half truths,
never fully believing spoken words.
In His ear, He hears my true desires.
The innermost thoughts and truths yet to be vocalized.

Through your mind I am to be doubted
or questioned, with intentions all my own.
In His mind I am beautiful.
Beautifully broken.
And loved nonetheless.

His senses carry me farther than
any idea, image or word of yours.
And that is what matters most to me.

And with that I will continue to sing His praise.

Whether it falls upon deaf ears.
Whether it passes a blind eye.
Whether it enters a closed mind.

My praise is His.
And I am His.
Beautifully broken.

Five Senses

Taste – to sense the sweet taste of Christ’s Word in my life
"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119:103)

Touch – to feel the Holy Spirit working within me
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1)

Sight – to see His works impacting my life
"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength" (Ephesians 1:18-19)

Hear – to hear His word within me in order to grow spiritually
"He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches." (Revelation chapters 2 and 3)

Smell – to take in the sweet smell of God’s wondrous Word
"I have been paid back everything, and with interest. I am completely satisfied with the gifts that you had Epaphroditus bring me. They are like a sweet-smelling offering or like the right kind of sacrifice that pleases God." (Philippians 4:18)


We dwell in a tangible world but we can use our senses in a spiritual light.

To fully embrace God’s grandeur... the blessings of our senses.
