How do you trust someone you’ve never met in the flesh?
How do you trust in the One who’s defeated death itself yet remains unseen?
Maybe it’s easier that way, to trust the only perfect man
The only One whose sacrifice is so much greater than any earthly man’s well intentioned moments of self-sacrifice
The only Way lays paving stones from the remnants of myself both then and now
The Truth has cut deep and called for a myriad of lifestyle changes
The Light’s rays turn my face to find a pathway through the darkness
The One who is only seen in the heart
The One who is only heard in dreams both when awake and asleep
The One who is only felt by each individually in a way meant specifically for them
Open my eyes to see You throughout each day, in the hawks that alight on the tree as I pull in the driveway, in the smile on the faces of those whose eyes belie their history of pain and suffering, in the compassion of strangers
Help me see the echoes of Your love in the expressions of love graciously afforded me by others
Help me remember Your mercies and grace shown throughout my life
Help me drown out every noise but Your voice
Help me in my unbelief although I do believe
I need you right now; every moment of every day- even in the middle of the night
Awaken my mind and heart to Your sovereignty, to trusting in Your plans that far exceed my own
How do I trust someone never seen?
By recognizing all His fingerprints around me if I only am willing to eyes that see and ears to hear
