The visual sense is the strongest for most people.  Like it or not we are impacted by how things look to us.  There is a reason why the cliché of things are not always as they seem.  Even with our visual awareness of what is appearing to us we still filter how we understand what we are seeing through the lens of our thinking.  In other words, the moment we go to describe the appearance to someone else or explain it to ourselves it has changed.  Couple that with the fact that we can only view so many dimensions and angles at one time, what appears to us is only part of what is actually occurring.  It is helpful to seek out guidance before we make assumptions and decisions based on only what appears to us.  God invites us to take what appearances we are present to from the eyes in our head to the eyes of our heart.  From there we can begin to get a fuller picture of what is involved in the appearances in our lives.  God has shown me on our daily dates when I involve eyes of my heart in what is appearing to me, my perspective widens and deepens.  I am able to embrace the appearance of many things that upon a first glance I may have determined do not need to be a part of my experience that day.  When I utilize the power of the pause God has taught me, the appearances to my eye have greater value.  The moment I take to breathe in and engage my heart, allows me to see the kinship with someone who by all appearances is different from me.
