I reached up to draw back the living room curtains. The one
on the right slid open easily. The one on the left caught on the supporting
hook. It would not slide without being lifted up first. As I couldn’t reach, I left
it closed, diminishing the early morning light in the room.
My perception of life, of events, of God, is not always –
maybe even just rarely – clear. My ideas can become caught on an assumption, a
vague value, a misconception which impairs my view and limits my understanding.
I may think I see clearly, but if the curtain is not fully open, I don’t.
Lord, tear open any curtains which obscure, which distort,
which conceal truth today. May I not fall prey to embracing half-seen ‘truths’
but instead may I sit in your presence, you, Jesus, who are the way, the truth
and the life. Open my eyes, Lord: I want to see.
