I see quizzical expressions upon their faces
as they try unsuccessfully to decipher
the reasons I do the things I do.
They cannot understand that it is for You.
I am unable to lovingly serve
most of the people you place in my life.
But, as long as I keep my eyes on You,
I can allow you to love them through
this shattered vessel that is me.
They understand not the kind of
unconditional love
that You hold out to them.
Lord, help me to let them see
You living in and through me.
Lord, open their eyes to Your love.
Lord, remove those quizzical expressions
from their faces, and the confusion from their hearts.
