This piece was written as a personal testimony as to how we can use scripture to liberate us from mental and physical bondage. Through the Eyes of the Beholder is dedicated to all of us who struggle with insecurities; that we may know how to alter our perceptions to see ourselves and others through God's eyes.

Where was the outcry from the Body of Christ?

Dark times
Regime change.
"How are we gonna make it?"
"How are we gonna live?"
Tomorrow?

 

Fear for breakfast
Trembling for brunch
Despair for dinner.
