When you stare at the sun (even for a moment) it's hard to see anything else afterward.

When you stare at the Son (even for a moment) it's hard to see anything else afterward.

It can be a little frightening because you're not sure what will happen.

And you've heard warnings all your life.

You'll lose your vision staring like that.

But maybe I want to let go of my vision. And grab hold of a new one.

The blinding light that steals my own sight and forces me to rely on a new way of seeing the world - unfamiliar and vulnerable - not knowing where my steps are taking me.

but maybe I can trust Him.

After all, He is the author of every good thing in my life.
My own vision would have taken me so far away from this place I find myself in right now.
I wouldn't trade this place for any other.

So I'll continue to stare at the sun,
despite the liars whispering around me reminding me I'm losing my control.
I smile because it's true. And it's the safest place to be.
No strength but what He gives.
And no vision, but what He sees.
And absolutely no safety but the faith I have in His good plans.

Infinitely better than mine.
