Loving the Unseen One

Receive the words from 1 Peter 1:8:

“Though you have not seen him,

You love him.

Though you do not now see him,

You believe in him

And rejoice

With joy that is inexpressible

And filled with glory.”

We see earthly problems.

They glare at us.

If we let them,

They’ll make us stare at them.

But you need not

Fix your gaze on the fleeting troubles

Of this world.

You are made to love

The One you don’t see with natural eyes.

You can love Him

And have joy again and again

As you love Him more and more.

When earth’s problems

Invite your gaze,

Make 1 Peter 1:8 your own:

“Though I have not seen Him,

I love Him…

I believe in Him

And rejoice

With joy that is inexpressible.”
