When I LOOK to the path ahead, I SEE giants and walled cities. I HEAR voices saying, “Give up, grasshopper. What you want to establish is impossible.” When I LOOK upwards, I SEE peers who have far out-successed me, by the measurements of this world. I HEAR voices saying, “You are a disappointing loser, and you have wasted your life.” When I LOOK back, I SEE a trail littered with shipwrecks, missed opportunities, and poor choices. I HEAR, “You just do not have what it takes. Isn’t it obvious by now?” When I LOOK at a 2025 calendar, I SEE a bottom-heavy hourglass with my name on it. I HEAR, “You might as well quit. If you haven’t accomplished it by now, you never will.” Therefore, I will not LOOK those places any longer. I will not linger in the places that trigger those voices. Those images and words have nothing to do with who I am. I will LOOK to You, my God. I will direct my spiritual gaze to You. With full receptivity, I fix my focus. I LOOK to the Rock from which I was hewn. I LOOK to my source, the only one who fully knows me. I LOOK to the only definer of my being. I LOOK to the light that illumines my being. I LOOK to Life and am quickened. I LOOK into the good countenance that shines upon me and gives me peace. I LOOK into the face of love, forgiveness and acceptance. I LOOK to You and am flooded with energetic hope. I LOOK to You and connect with meaning and purpose. I LOOK to You and find my unfathomable value. I LOOK to You and SEE my true nature. I LOOK to You and rest in being loved by You. I LOOK to You and soak up Your delight in me. I HEAR “You are my beloved.” I HEAR the voices of the Trinity saying, “Dance with us.” I HEAR, “Fear not, there never reason to fear.” I LOOK to You, SEE Your smile, and HEAR, “I like you, my son.” Father, I LOOK to You and SEE the same nature as Jesus. Jesus, I LOOK to You and SEE the same nature as the Father. As I LOOK to You, I SEE You and Your Father are one. I HEAR, “Yes, and you are one with Us.”
