Romans 5:5

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

you and me

It's You and me,
and all of the people
and I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off you.

I was meditating on these words, and I figured out why I am always attracted to this song. It was written in relation to a girl, but what if I sing it to God?
Being in NYC and seeing all of the people here - all so unique and interesting with their individual stories - I am starting to understand that they represent my heavenly Father. As Christians, we hear all the time that we are made in the image of God and represent Christ. But rarely do we apply that to other people. 'If they are not Christians, they do not represent Christ at all.' That is our mindset. We may not admit it, but I am admitting it because it has been true for me. God made ALL mankind in His image, whether they have chosen to accept Him yet or not. As we grow in relationship with Him, we are conformed even more to Jesus Christ's image (this should be our goal). So do not despise the seed that has not sprouted yet.
Anyway, my point is, that when I see 'all of the people', I see God! I see His creation! That is why I can't keep my eyes off of You! Every time I look at someone's face, I look at the handiwork and earthly representations of my God.
