Give Me Your Eyes

"Give me your eyes for just one second. Give me your eyes so I can see, everything that I keep missing. Give me your love for humanity. Give me your arms for the broken-hearted, the ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me your heart for the ones forgotten. Give me your eyes so I can see." This song by Brandon Heath has a great message, doesn't it? Allow me the ability to NOTICE! And when I notice someone that needs attention, give me the wisdom to act, the courage to show love and compassion - not in a pitying way, but in a way that reflects the love of God to someone who needs it.
We all see them. We all probably know many of them - the broken-hearted, the ones forgotten. Galatians 6:9-10 seems very relevant: "So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith." "Give me your strength when I am weary. Give me your arms to guide my way. Give me your voice when mine will falter, to say the things I need to say." No, those words aren't in Mr. Heath's song; but they're in my heart.
