camouflaged beauty



There’s that person again who annoys you.

Or the person who once hurt you.

Or the person who still wields the power to wound you by what they say or what they don’t.

There’s that person who makes you angry.

Or the one who is so irresponsible.

There’s the person who deserves what they got.

Or the one who should be locked away forever.

Or the one who never learns.

There’s the person with the crappy attitude.

Or the one who offends you.

Or the one who pushes your buttons.

Or the one who acts out of hate.

There’s the person you hold responsible.

There’s the person who is your enemy.

But alas, your eyes are opened. You see past their face, past their attitude, past their actions, past their history, past the way they now are, past any judgments you or others might have held of them…and you spot someone beautiful waiting to be born.

I like when you say, "but alas, your eyes are opened"

"alas" because it is not necessarily easy for our heads to Love the way God loves and it even may squeeze hard on our hearts, but it would be so sweet to our soul.
