Seen By The Gaze That Knows You
The room is quiet now, but the loudest silence is the one that happened today. It was the silence of eyes that looked right through you, as if you were glass, as if you took up no space at all. You feel invisible. Unseen. Like a ghost in your own life.
But there is a gaze that does not skim the surface. A gaze that stops and rests on you. The Father sees you—not the mask you wear to survive the day, but the person underneath who is tired of being ignored.
He does not look through you. He looks at you. And in that looking, you are known.
