His Footprints, My Heart...

What is it about someone's eyes? I mean, you look at a person's foot or hand or even right at their face, but unless you look at the eyes, you don't really know that person. You know? When I think I've said something to hurt my husband's feelings and he tells me that everything is fine; but, unless I see his eyes and can see it in his eyes, I'm not completely convinced that "everything is fine." I promise you, at least 99% of the time that hubby and I have "that" conversation where I think I've opened my mouth when I shouldn't have, you'll hear me say "let me see your eyes, I have to see your eyes!", because I know that when I look in his eyes I can see what's really inside. After all, they say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. I know that's true, I see the love my husband has for me when I look into his eyes.

It's made me wonder lately, how often do I take the time when I say "hi" to someone to truly look into their eyes and "hear" the real answer? Alot of people call me "hyper-sensitive"... some mean that in a very positive way, some mean that my sensitivity is annoying... ha, ha... That's okay, though, because I know that God made me just the way I am and he wanted me to be extremely sensitive for a reason. Well, yeah, alot of times I allow that hyper-sensitivity to get in the way of His will when I get my feelings hurt; but, there are so many times that my hyper-sensitivity allows me to "feel" what another is feeling and to see that they are in need of something. It goes hand in hand with the spiritual gift of mercy, I believe, which is one of my spiritual gifts. I know that when I'm hurting, I tend to look away from people, I don't want them to see my eyes for fear that they'll see what's inside.

Here's my challenge to myself and I think you'll be blessed by trying out this challenge as well: next time you encounter someone, take that extra few seconds it takes to look into their eyes to see what they aren't telling you. Here's the hard part, be prepared to act on that if needed. God calls us to love, and what better love can we show than the love that He's shown to us?

Hm, don't think I ever analyzed it that much. Interesting to think about,

we can see the true feelings of one person by looking in his eyes. the eyes alone can speak with deep emotion, deeper than what the lips could possibly utter.

The eyes will tell so much about the personality of an individual.

Yes - when we look someone in the eyes it shows genuine interest and care - our hearts.
Good post.
