Stolen With One Glance...What do your eyes say?

I've heard that the eyes are the windows to the soul so often it has become trite, but it seems so true. What is it about the eyes? Though silent, they speak so much volume. They tell if you're angry, sad, happy, approachable, or unapproachable. Hmmm, her eyes became a stronghold... a place of no escape. The effect of her eyes had so much passion to captivate with a power to arrest a man, invite, or deter the approach. Without being arrogant and bold.

What do yours say? Are they filled with the pain of the past relationship or the doubt of mistrust? "Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness" (Luke 11:34). Give your fears and disappointments to His forgiveness... and find favor in the eyes of another... focused on the peace, joy and happiness set before you... attracting the right mate to follow the path to your heart.

Knowing that love can do anything for you! All you have to do is give love by feeling good, and any negativity of pain in your eyes will fade away. The solution is always love! I don't know how it will be solved, and we may never know how, but if you maintain feeling good and give love, it will just happen. I am not speaking of what I suspect to true, but what I know to be true. This is no invention of mines. I lay no personal claim to it except that of observed its unvarying application in her eyes...an everyday walk of life.

So if you demand proof positive of the soundness of this law of peace, joy and happiness in finding a true relationships. I cannot offer it except through one witness, and that is you. You may prove it simply by testing and applying this law for yourself. Think of it like this great universal law "We reap what we sow" even in thought... viewed through our eyes.

I saw him…standing with friends….smiling and laughing and talking….totally unaware of the trance he had me in. With only a side view he had captured my attention…. I was drawn to his swag of being an individual….bc clearly he did not match the friends of which he was surrounded. I waited patiently…discreetly…for a frontal view… Then… it happened….he turned…facing me… and I ….fell in love…with his eyes.  He stole my heart, with just ONE GLANCE.

Your eyes….the mirror to your soul….the communicators of love….the bearers of hate….the voice of ur convictions.  They speak volumes when you are silent and remain mute when u are vocal. They know their role without being taught or prompted because they are a major part of ur emotional being.

I’ve been told that my eyes are seductive…. That with just one look I could undress, or kiss, or hug…..lol And because of that, I’ve learned to take full advantage  of those moments…..often seducing him, or teasing  him, even making love to him….. I love the power that my eyes produce…

Love is…simply amazing through the right eyes. Eyes that have allowed themselves to bond ONLY with the person that owns ur heart.  I wish I knew the correlation between the brain, the heart and the eyes….how they are able to read each other so easily?….smh….perhaps they had a beautiful love affair. Whatever the reason, they are the reason we love…and love so freely.  The truth of love exists and relies solely on ur ability to accept it as is….and as Mista says…ON PURPOSE.

Fruit of Unfailing Love

The early days of their relationship was beautiful as their love began to blossom. And God blessed their union with a son. How Timothy's heart must have swelled with joy. He was convinced that his future marriage would be better than ever with this little one to brighten their home. Timothy named the baby, for his name was to have prophetic significance to the beginnings. He called him Quez. While his family was prospering at the moment, its destruction was on the horizon and it would happen in the valley of spiritually.

It was after the birth of Quez that Timothy seems to have noticed a change in May. She became restless and unhappy, like a bird trapped in a cage. He went on encouraging the wayward family to turn from its sinful ways and trust God for deliverance from the threat of surrounding temptations . “Return unto the potters house!” was the theme of his thoughts, and he encouraged it repeatedly with faith. But May seemed less and less interested in his spiritual encouragement. In fact, she may have grown to resent it. She probably even accused Timothy of thinking more about his dreams than he did of hers. She began to find other interests to occupy herself, and spent more and more time away from home.

The dangers are great when a husband and wife have few interests in common. Sometimes he goes his way and she goes hers. They each have their own set of friends, and there is little communication to bring their two worlds together. A husband’s preoccupation with his work may be the major contributing factor to the cleavage. Or it may be a wife’s growing involvement in outside activities and subsequent neglect of the home. It may simply be a disinterest in the things of the Lord on the part of either husband or wife. But it sets the scene for great calamity. Husbands and wives need to do things together and take an interest in each other’s activities. In this inspired note, the responsibility is clearly laid upon May rather than Timothy. She did not share her husband’s love for God.

That brings us, secondly, to his unrelieved agony. This note does not give the details of what happened, but what it does say would permit you some speculation concerning the progressive trend that led to the tragic situation you will eventually discover. May’s absences from home probably grew more frequent and prolonged and soon Timothy was feeling pangs of suspicion about her faithfulness to him.But Timothy went on with the wedding at God's direction. He lay awake at night and wrestled with his fears. He worked with a heavy heart during the day. And his suspicions three months after they wed were confirmed when May came to him before his sister would, to tell of her unfaithfulness. This was a trying time for Timothy, but in the mist of the storm May's father past away.And May's sister called Mehaa, which means “unpitied” or “unloved,” implying that she would not enjoy her true father’s love.Came to live with the family. Again the name was symbolic of May's wandering from God’s love and the discipline she would soon experience. But even that spiritual message could not soothe the family's troubled soul.

No sooner had little Mehaa came part of the family than May conceived again. It was another boy. May call him Ethan, which meant “not my people,” or “no kin of mine.” It symbolized May’s alienation from Timothy, but it also exposed May’s sinful escapades. That child born in Timothy’s house was questioned if his.

It was all out in the open now. Everyone knew about May’s affairs. While the entire second part of this note describes Timothy’s relationship with his unfaithful wife May, it is difficult to escape the feeling that it grows out of Timothy’s relationship with May, as it is clearly describe that sad and sordid story. He pleaded with her. He threatened to disinherit her. But still she ran off with her lover because he promised to lavish material things on her. He tried to stop her on occasion , but she continued to seek her companion in sin. Timothy would take her back in loving forgiveness and they would try again. But her repentance would be short-lived and soon she would be off again with her new lover.

Then the final blow fell. Maybe it was a note, maybe word sent by a friend, but the essence of it seems to have been, “I’m leaving for good this time. I’ve found my true love. I’ll never come back again.” How Timothy must have suffered! He loved her deeply and grieved for her as though she had been taken in death. His heart ached that she should choose a life that would surely bring her to ruin. His friends were probably saying, “Good riddance to her, Timothy. Now you’ll be through with her adulterous ways once and for all.” But Timothy did not feel that way. He longed for her to come home.

Timothy wanted to see May restored to his side as his faithful wife. And he believed that God was great enough to do it. One day word came by way of the grapevine gossips that May had been deserted by her lover. She had sold her soul into slavery and had hit bottom. This was the last straw. Certainly now Timothy would forget her. But his heart said “No.” He could not give her up. And then God spoke to him: “Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods” (Hos. 3:1).

May was still beloved of Timothy even though she was an adulteress, and God wanted him to seek her out and prove his love to her. How could anyone love that deeply? The answer was right there in God’s instructions to Timothy, “even as the Lord loves.” Only one who knows the love and forgiveness of God can ever love this perfectly. And one who has experienced His loving forgiveness cannot help but love and forgive others. Christian husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the Church (Eph. 5:25), and Timothy is an outstanding earthly example of that kind of love.

So he began his search, driven by that indestructible divine love, love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love that never ends. And he found her, ragged, torn, sick, dirty, disheveled, destitute, a repulsive shadow of the woman she once was. We wonder how anyone could love her now. But Timothy brought her home. Then he said to her, “You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you” (Hos. 3:3). He eventually restored her to her position as his wife. While this note fictional imitating a recent event in the book of Hosea ,We cannot escape the fruit of HIS unfailing love God has for us, we assume that God used the supreme act of forgiving love of Hosea (Timothy) to melt her heart and change her life.

How many times should a husband or wife forgive? Some contend, “If I keep forgiving I simply affirm him in his pattern of sin.” Or “If I keep forgiving, she’ll think she can get away with anything she wants.” Others say, “If I keep forgiving, it’s like putting my seal of approval on his behavior.” Or “I can’t take another hurt like that. If he does that one more time, I’m leaving.” Those are human responses. Listen to the response of the Lord Jesus. You see, Peter had asked the Lord this same question: “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” The Lord’s answer was, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven” (Matt. 18:21, 22). That is a great deal of forgiveness. In fact, Christ was simply saying in a captivating way that there is no end to forgiveness.

Sometimes it’s just the little slights and daily agitations that need forgiveness, the occasional sharp word or angry accusation. But we harbor it, let it eat at us, and build up bitterness and resentment which erodes our relationship. Maybe it’s a major offense, like May’s, and we can never forget it. We stew on it and fret over it, and we keep bringing it up in a subconscious attempt to punish our mates for the hurts we have suffered. We try to forgive, but a few days later it’s right there again, preying on our consciousness. Big wounds sometimes take longer to heal. They will come back to our minds. There is no way to avoid it. But every time they do, we must first remind ourselves that we really did forgive, then rehearse how much God has forgiven us, then ask Him to take the destructive, unforgiving thoughts out of our minds.

We need to love like that. We need to forgive like that. We need to drag the festering hurts we have been harboring in our hearts to the cross of Christ—where we laid our own burden of guilt one day and where we found God’s loving forgiveness—and we must leave them all there. When we fully forgive, our minds will be released from the bondage of resentment that has been building a wall between us, and we shall be free to grow in our relationship with each other.
