“I see you,”

I say lovingly to him

as he works away at his computer

And he stops everything

looking me in the eye

with intentionality

“I see you” he says back

And we both know

what this means

It speaks love on purpose

in the midst of busy life

It means that we see each other

all the way through

to what’s behind the eyes

The deep part

And I’m grateful for a man

who knows how important

connection is

But even more grateful for my attentive God

He sees all

He knows all

And He pays attention to every detail

on purpose

He cares about every move I make

about every thought

About my heart

And when I might be tempted to think

no one is noticing my life

He reassures me by His Spirit

and through His Word

“I see you,” He says

and I believe Him

And no one could mean it more

So I look up from my computer

as I type this blog

and I say,

“I see You God”

The Eternal can see all things; His gaze is fixed on both the evil and the good.

– Proverbs 15:3 (VOICE)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

– Psalm 32:8 (NIV)

For the Lord watches over the righteous, and His ears are attuned to their prayers. But His face is set against His enemies; He will punish evildoers.

– 1 Peter 3:12 (VOICE)

You are big enough

to create an endless universe

with words and will

You are big enough

to have Your eye on billions of souls

always

You are big enough

to hold everything and everyone

in Your hand

and yet

You are mine

You hold everything together

and all the while, You speak tenderly to my heart

You are big

beyond comprehension

but You love

one-on-one

personally

in the closest way

as if You were not so big

but I’m glad You are

for that is why

I can trust you with the small

God stretches the northern sky over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.

He wraps the rain in His thick clouds,
and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.

He covers the face of the moon,
shrouding it with His clouds.

He created the horizon when He separated the waters;
He set the boundary between day and night.
The foundations of heaven tremble;
they shudder at His rebuke.
By His power the sea grew calm.
By His skill He crushed the great sea monster.
His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
and His power pierced the gliding serpent.
These are just the beginning of all that He does,
merely a whisper of His power.
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of His power?

– Job 26:7-14 (NLT)

When I look at the night sky and see the work of Your fingers—
the moon and the stars You set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that You should care for them?

– Psalm 8:3,4 (NLT)

O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!

– Jeremiah 32:17 (NLT)
