Dear Woman With the Broken Eyes,
I don’t know you. I don’t know your story. I don’t know the hardships you have been through. I don’t know the last time you ate. I don’t know if that’s the only dress you own. I don’t know where you live. I don’t know where you sleep. I don’t know if you have a father for your son. I don’t know if you know the Lord. I don’t know if you are safe. I don’t know if you have money. I know nothing about you.
When you looked me in the eyes today, I had to quickly look away. Not because I felt awkward or because I was judging you. I had to look away because I could see the pain and brokenness in your eyes. I had to put myself back together. I’ve never seen anyone with eyes like yours. In that quick moment, I had a connection with you. I could sense the brokenness. I could almost feel it. I know that I don’t feel it as much or even as close to what you do, but in that moment I could feel it so strongly. In that moment, you had an impact on my life.
I can’t fully put it into words how you made me feel. Thank you for that. Today, when I had the honor to lay my hands on you and pray for you, I felt some weight being lifted off of you. Your body language was different. Your smile was brighter. I looked into your eyes one last time before leaving you and I saw a new set of eyes. I saw hope and joy in your eyes.
Dear Woman With the Broken Eyes,
I thank God for you being placed there in that moment. I am praying for you. I will be praying that He will provide for your every need. I am praying that if you don’t know Him yet, that you will come to know Him. I will think about you often. I love you. Thank you again for impacting my life.
Blessings, Victoria Finlay
