His eyes locked on mine—my heart pounding in my chest. I
wanted to look away—but I couldn’t. I wouldn’t. There was something I needed to
see—something I needed to feel.
Hold My gaze
I looked deeply and saw the lenses of His eyes change. I
could see His heart looking back at me. I looked away unable to bare the
intensity any longer. His love was too deep too, too powerful for a girl in
pigtails.
The next morning He came near again. The music of His heart
swirled in the air between us. Standing before me I heard Him whisper.
Hold My gaze
Tears came in floods. I was just a girl in pigtails. How
dare I look into His eyes—let alone hold His gaze?
He said nothing. Placed His hands on my scrawny shoulders
and waited. His touch brought a surge of warmth within me. There was something
He needed me to see—something He wanted me to feel.
Courage met deep longing and I looked up and held His gaze.
Within a moment the intensity of His gaze became like laser beams into my soul.
His eyes said one thing—
I love you
The truth of His love penetrated me instantly as deep
powerful waves rushed through every part of me.
His laser beam eyes wrote Beloved Daughter across my identity.
I was secure. I was loved.
It was something I needed to see—something I needed to feel.
I saw it in His eyes, and felt it in my soul.
His arms opened wide and I fell into Him. Clinging to Him as
a girl in pigtails would do. Love embraced me. Love consumed me.
Wrapped in my Father’s embrace I knew who I was. I knew where I belonged—
In my Father’s gaze.
Every moment of every day we have a choice--whose gaze will you
hold today?
On the journey with you,

Here or somewhere…be real.
Share your journey.
