In Her Father’s Eyes

Katie Marie on Oct 28, 2009

What does He see when he looks at me?

Innocence of newborn child
Pure and trusting to His smile

Playful joys of a toddler too
Sees adventure in all things new

Stumbling child in all things tried
Growth in knowledge now applied

Seeking truth in all surrounds
Open heart is what He’s found

Uncertain steps in path ahead
Trusting by His hand she’s led

By carnal weakness she’s beset
Failings often bring regret

In humble honor she bows down
On her head He’s placed a crown

I wish I could say He sees me that way. I’m afraid I fall more than that. Beautiful write, and a good daily focus. Well done, Katie.

@Maranatha “Stumbling child in all things tried”

He does see you just the same as he sees me. Your Father runs quickly to help you up each time you fall. Is patience with his children is immeasurable.

Great poem and a nice reminder of God’s love and that we are all his children.

I think it is a precious thing to be able to go to the Father and just be like a child again, being held by a loving Daddy. No worries, He’ll take care of me.
