Through The Eyes of God

image by Manu Pombrol


"Life is a tapestry: We are the warp; angels, the weft; God, the weaver. Only the Weaver sees the whole design."
 ~Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994





We are all naked when seen through the eyes of God.
He sees through the deception he sees through the facade.

No cunning can truly fool Him with layers of disguise.
He knows when we are sincere He recognizes every lie.

All the pride we acquire grows into a heavy shroud,
that we can barely peer through yet God's eyes can get around.

Each heart an open book that God is the co-author of.
Our own personal road map that can lead us back to His love.

  7. How very true,Carrie! There's a saying, 'all that is perfect that is God the AlMighty and all the woes of imperfections Man has a hand in it'
    And your verse said so! Great write!

  8. Carrie,

    The words are about life itself and
    so very true. Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of God. All knowing and all forgiving.

    Hope all is good with you Carrie,

    Eileen :)

    When we realize that we need not lie or deceive God, life becomes very simple. The same applies to our fellow mankind.
