Sea of faces

And In Your eyes I can see
And in Your arms I will be
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces

Lyrics from a song by Kutless.

There's a tendency to just see people as faces, walking down the street as the faces go by, often never to be seen again.

I often think it's almost like a film or book. I can be watching or reading about a character and for a moment take on that role myself, imagining myself in that persons place taking on the emotions and feelings, longing for there to be a happy ending.

A good author has that ability, to describe details so well that for a while at least the reader can enter that realm of fiction.

But that extends into the real world to, it's only as we begin to form relationships that we discover that there's more than just a face, there's a person and a story behind that mask, and to be let into part of a persons life like that is a tremendous privilege really.

The last few weeks I've really been under attack, and not just me alone but those I care about around me.

It's like when God moves it stirs up things that have lain dormant, and along side the beauty the ugly side of people seems to rise to the surface.

However I know my God is so faithful, and I'm certain that He who started a good work will surely finish it :)

I was reading Song of Solomon the other day and it talks about us ravishing Gods heart with just one look of our eyes.

What an amazing statement that is, we just glance up and it melts the very heart of God, such love.

Such incredible love!
