Images

I have occasions where I look at something and have a difficult time getting that image out of my head. I mean, I can go for days, weeks, months with that image cropping up from time to time. This is not a bad thing when the image is good, it is when the image is not so good.

I have a memory of my Grandpa sitting me, a very young child, on his knee and feeding me onion and cornbread (don't knock it until you try it). I was hungry. It was still quite a while until dinner. He fixed my hunger. The image of my Grandpa taking the time, showing the compassion to feed a little fellow will stay with me until GOD calls me home.

I also have images that I will never forget that are very unpleasant. I won't go into details. I won't give specifics. But, suffice it to say that I have some really bad images that, too, will stay with me until GOD calls me home.

Today's word is from Luke 11:34, NIV, which reads, "Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness."

We all know that the eyes are the windows to the soul. The images we see, the things we watch, the things we look at are burrowing straight to our soul. We have to be cautious and watch what we watch. It's easy to look at an image and think that one little look won't hurt. One may not, but we so seldom give it just one look.

Look, I am talking to me. We really need to watch what we watch. When our eyes are healthy, when they are looking at good things, our body will be healthy and full of light. Be careful little eyes what you see...

Be Blessed,
