He sees we do not see.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this postJesus sees that we do not see.
"Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing."
Who else says that?
Forgives in spite of blindness.
Forgives when the blind insist they see, and see correctly.
Forgives us for our too-small minds that insist they are bigger.
Forgives our too-little understanding.
Forgives our emotion-based reaction.
Forgives our best intention gone wrong.
Forgives our human motives.
Forgives us our own misunderstanding.
Forgives us when we demand others see as we do, in our blindness.
He sees we do not see.
I am reminded of my extreme blindness.
And so I ask him to forgive me.
And to help me to see.

You said this so much better and more poetically than I did in my post "The Conviction We Are Right Disease." Thanks for this.
