If the blind put their hand in God's they find their way more
surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
-- Helen Keller--
CLOSE YOUR EYES
Close your eyes and see,
See your world in the dark;
Dark and blue sky come together,
Together like clouds in midnight dreams.
Dreams tell their own stories,
Stories so full of anxiety and joy;
Joy and worry paint fading pictures,
Pictures made with watercolors in the rain.
Rain falls against the windows,
Windows shut against raging storms;
Storms of life: storms of anger, storms of sorrow,
Sorrow like bloody tears falling from the eyes of Christ.
Christ and Christ alone opens our hearts,
Hearts with eyes closed in fear of what will surely get in;
In place of sorrow He gives joy, for anger; sovereign grace,
Grace withstands faithless fury holding sainted sinners close.

EPHESIANS 1
18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that
you can understand the confident hope He has given to
those He called—His holy people who are His rich
and glorious inheritance.
