Eyes That See

CAROL KEENEY

Two people ride into a city. One notices the houses, schools, and office buildings. He is an architect. The other observes the various makes and conditions of cars on the streets. His hobby is rebuilding cars. It's obvious that each sees what he is thinking about— what interests him most. Don't we all? And doesn't this hint the importance of what we dwell on in thought?

The fundamental questions, the most important for us to ask ourselves as to what we think, are "What is God?" and "What is man?" To begin to understand God and man, and to continue to grow in this understanding, affects our viewpoint concerning every detail of our lives.

The Bible tells us that "God is love"^{I John 4:8;}—infinite, ever-present Love. Our creator, then, our source, the very Life that sustains our existence in the eternal now, is Love. This means that man, created in the image and likeness of God, is immortal, spiritual, loved, and loving. Whatever we know humanly of the joyous and wondrous qualities of love is only a hint of real being and God's infinite love for us.
