God makes love visible. God is showing love everywhere. There is no hiding of love.  It can seem hidden to us but if we are looking with our eyes and more importantly open hearts then we cannot help but see its presence.  Love is who we are.  Love is what creates the flow of the universe.  Love is the overarching and underpinning mechanism of life.  I get caught up in seeing only things I expect to see which is often when I miss the vision of love right in front of my eyes.  I brace myself for a potentially difficult interaction with someone, for traffic filled street, a long day at work, or an activity I decided I had to do instead of choosing to do.  All of these situations are not ones in which I walk into expecting to show me evidence of love in the world.  God encourages me on our daily date to begin to see with the eyes of my heart.  Even if for an hour at a time.  By starting with the love in my own heart, it extends out through my eyes. When I catch myself being marred in thoughts of frustration either with myself or a situation, my daily dates make it more likely for me to pause and ask God to help me see as God sees. God is ready to show me love in expected places and spaces.  God is willing to show the presence of love in my own heart by reminding me to see with the eyes of my heart when I ask to be shown.
