Clear Eyes?

The reading today, Luke 11:14-36,reminds me of the variety and richness of our Chocolate Angel experience on Saturday. Toward the end of it, we can learn Jesus' prescription for ageless beauty. Jesus has mentioned the vital need for lamps shining out in the open so people can see where to go. Then in verse 34 He says, "The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear your whole body also is full of light: but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness." I know we have all seen people who are beautiful because of an ageless inner glow and that is most recognizable in their eyes. The fact is that their eyes, the windows to their souls, are clear.

So how do we keep our eyes clear instead of getting "spiritual cataracts". I think it has a lot to do with what we look at and focus on. Out eyes can get glazed and calloused (sort of what we hide behind) if we focus on fears, worries, lies from the enemy. "Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness." However, a focus on truth, love, and our dear Lord brings freedom and clarity and joy that just shines.

Father give us clear eyes so that we can glow more and more with Your beauty.
