“So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. ” John 1:14 NLT
When Famous has had enough of the day, when he rests on the floor in the evening patiently waiting for me to call it quits and turn in for the night, I can slip down on the floor in front of him so that we face one another. Our eyes just inches from each other, he gazes into my eyes, and I gaze into his. It becomes one of those “ah” moments filled with awe and amazing satisfaction. Perhaps he senses a portion of the love and admiration I have for him. I sense an instinctive trust and natural peace from him. It is the ultimate staring contest!
Even with all of the paintings and sculptures and stained glass windows depicting the infant Jesus, we can only imagine what Mary, Joseph, and their visitors that night might have seen and felt when they looked upon his face. Did they sense wonder, peace, or divine love? I feel certain that everyone who gazed into his eyes, or watched him feeding in perfect innocence sensed a connection to the Creator of the entire universe.
Help me today to see beyond what my eyes can see.
