the pursuit of you part 5: His eyes beheld the beauty of spirit

 

His eyes beheld the beauty of the spirit. 

I've never seen a spirit shine as her.

Like the littlest star shines the brightest in the night sky.

I'm lost in her stare, so much so that my eyes blur,

But I never lose the image, my reason why.

I love her for her fiery spirit that burns.

The one who endured when the world tried to crush her,

I don't hesitate to touch her soul, my heart yearns,

I watch as she prays before the king, bearing all of herself.

And I saw through the eyes of heaven, 

Not with the eyes of man, 

The confidence of a humble woman,

In her presence, only a man worthy and rooted in Christ can stand. 

Favor does not chase; it attracts. 

And I am drawn to her orbit, 

She is grounded by the rock, 

And I stand steady beside her. 

I would never dim her shine, 

My light will be right there next to hers,

Together we advance the Kingdom of heaven,

Our King has spoken. 

1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)
“For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

Proverbs 18:22 (KJV)
“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.”

may we look with spiritual eyes to truly see the beauty of a fellow image bearer.
