As I have pondered and weighed this topic so heavy, I began to realize how much I need to learn from the calmness of eyes. I have always know that I could not change the circumstances which may arise or surround me, but I can certainly change how I look at it or my attitude in how I deal with it.
There seems to be so many tornadoes and hurricanes to life sometimes and we seem to feel like we are spinning and being thrown out of control. But somehow in the center of every tornado and hurricane the eye is always calm. As I have often found myself crying out to God begging and pleading to bring the storms of life to a stop he reminds me it is all part of the refining process. I came to realize through those quiet moments I was searching for peace and serenity he was reminding me to keep my eyes focused on him. Come to the center of the storms where it is calm. Yes, I can certainly see all that goes on around me from the center, but the center in his eyes and arms is that place of safety, peace, calmness, and serenity that can be found no where else.
If my eyes lose focus and become distracted from the circumstances of life then I can expect to lose site of the prize to which he is calling me to. My prize my calm eyes in the storm can only be continuously focused toward him. Eyes that feel pain with such great love and yet bring an uncanny sense of indescribable peace.
