Because

Because your eyes see me and your ears are tuned to my cries for help,

Because you have pursued and rescued me and

Your hand has reached out to me and held me close,

Because you have loved me and made plans with me in mind,


Open my ears to your voice and when I hear,

Open my heart to your purposes and when I believe,

Open my eyes to injustice and when I see,

Open my mind to possibilities and when I imagine,

Open my hands to let go of my smaller purposes

and embrace the work you have for me to do.

Someone very special sent me "...and the night will be filled with music and the cares that infest the day will fold their tents like Arabs and silently steal away...". I googled the quote hoping to find the source -- these 25 words spoke volumes to a healing heart. "Because" also touched my heart and I would like to read more.
