Not too long ago I started experimenting with my Canon camera. I learned I could use the macro setting and get a clear close up shot of just about anything. Fascinating! Nothing was off limits. Ant piles. Fresh fruit. Budding tree limbs. A Triscuit cracker.
One day while waiting for Hannah to get in the car after school, I focused my lens on my son Justin’s eye. I couldn’t believe it. I could see his eye better with my camera than I could with my own eye. Beautiful! So much detail. And to think no two irises are alike. God’s creativity goes way beyond my finite mind. Wow!
As the weeks went on and I continued to take close up shots, God spoke to my heart.
“Just like you are with your camera always looking for beauty and getting close up to capture something on film, I am close up to you. Appreciating and capturing your every moment.”
Talk about a breathtaking and scary moment. To acknowledge the Creator of the Universe has His eye on me all the time. Knowing He sees what I cannot see and that He still appreciates something in me blows my mind. He doesn’t miss a moment. He stays up close and personal to capture my life through his lens. Who wouldn’t want a relationship with a God like that?
Just think right now, He’s focusing and capturing you too. Simply beautiful!
Say cheese. 
But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, Psalm 33:18 (NIV)
