                   The Eye of the Lord


Over the past few days, I have had a repeated vision of the eye of the 
Lord, looking deep and searching for those whose hearts are fully set on 
seeking Him. It is an eye filled with love and hope, yet also filled with 
sadness. It is penetrating and all-seeing, past the pretenses into the 
depths of the heart.  He spoke to my heart:

"Tell them this: This is a critical time to keep your focus on Me. There 
are many distractions and there many obligations that need to be fulfilled
which can also distract you.  These are a hindrance to you seeing what 
I am doing now. Trust Me, and I will work out the details as you keep 
your eyes on Me.

"Don't let your heart become discouraged or complacent. I am seeking to 
strengthen those who have not only opened their heart, but are looking 
to Me to know Me, to follow Me, to be filled with My presence. Do not be 
discouraged by what your eyes have seen, for you do not know the final 
outcome of the things that you have prayed for. You do not know the prayers 
that have been heard and answered on your behalf, and are still being 
answered, for I AM the God who hears and answers prayer.

"Be still.  Settle your heart before Me, and know that I am Who I Am, and 
I have not changed. Set your heart on finding Me, and I will be found. You 
will experience a greater depth in Me and in My love for you that cannot 
help but flow out to others. The more you look to Me, the more I will fill 
you with My Spirit, and even more will the kingdom advance through you."
