Looking at the World with New Eyes – Part 4
(Take a look at Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.)
So where do I go from here? How do I move on from this?
I go back to work. I look down to the parking lot – I feel peace, I am not afraid. I try to help others that are hurting…I share the vision with some.
I will never understand why…why this happened, why I was meant to see it, why I was there. But in some small way I hope that God has put me there to make a difference. I don’t think I fully know what that is yet.
I’m not perfect and sometimes when I look at this world I am afraid…it is dark and cold these days and the pain of losing my friend is almost too much to bear.
But that fear and pain cannot win, cannot steal my joy, cannot rule my life.
I see the sun rise – its golden beams reflecting off the nearby glass. I face it, let it light up my face…
Time slips away…its healing waters drifting by…
In this early January, I yearn for spring, for the new world of the hope that can be.
I will never forget, but I don’t live in that moment, that pain, that horror anymore. I see Jesus, I only see Jesus; thank you Jesus, thank you.
