Through the eyes of God

Thomas Merton, in "No Man is an Island" says,

The closer we are to God the closer we are to those who are close to him. We can come to understand others only by loving him who understands them from within the depths of their own being. Otherwise we know them only by the surmises that are formed within the mirror of our own soul.

To see through the Eyes of God is to see humanity as Christ sees humanity. With unconditional love.

In order to see with the Eyes of God, we first have to see God.

And when I understand how God sees me, I can look at all my relationships and fully understand what God sees in each and every one of them.



“ For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” -1 Samuel 16: 7
