In His Eyes

They have everything in life.Rich, prettty, successful businesswomen who displayed such efficiency, drive, passion, talent, pride in their work. Yet, when i spoke to them over a simple meal, beneath the bullet proof businesswoman, i saw their vulnerability towards life, marriage, family. It seems that they have no faith nor foundation in life. INDEED, i wonder what is life without God's word as the firm foundation and direction?

I realised then that all along, I've been blinded by what i've seen, by the "so perfect image" people had created for themselves. Does the millionaire need the Lord any less than the pauper? Does the CEO need the Lord any less than the cleaner? Does the smart need the Lord any less than the less smart? As I walked past Raffles Place, that day, beneath the smart jackets and chic dresses worn by the sucessful working class, for some time,i just watched and looked beyond the surface and see vulnerable hearts seeking for love and direction in life.

Have you been blinded by the success of people, just like me? Indeed, may God give us wisdom and discernment to see issues, things and people in HIS EYES and not thru our own deceptive eyes.
