“in to me see”

“in to me see” was a one-word used by a teacher who came to SOW Budapest a few months ago. It was how someone pronounced INTIMACY. I was reminded of it because of what God has been speaking to me. . . I SEE YOU, Mary. I see everything you’re going through. I see what your family is going through. I see your mom’s situation. I see EVERYTHING coz nothing is hidden from Me. I could picture Jesus holding my face towards Him with His nail-pierced hands, saying “look at Me and in to Me see. . . My words are true, just fix your eyes on Me.” I understood deep within me that it’s the place I could be secured, affirmed, and know that in the midst of all the worries of the day, I can rest in His care. What I’m sharing this time is probably too simple for many but sometimes, it’s the simple and basic things that we often miss out.

Last night, our teacher of the week, Mike Payne, shared on Psalm 63 (one of my favourite passages). It brought back memories of last year, when I was going through a very rough time. It was in that moment when I had to cling on to Jesus, just like that woman who said to herself, “if only I could touch the end of His robe”… it’s like clinging onto Him as if my world would collapse if I let go of His robe. Little did I know, that Psalm which I used to sing acapella only to the Lord, was a song I had to sing to someone in Latvia at a home gathering. This woman heard someone singing a song to her, and when she heard me, she was moved to tears and said, “I heard that melody in my dream.”

Oh God You are my God,
earnestly I seek You

My soul thirsts for You Lord

Nothing can quench but You

On my bed I remember You

I think of You through the watches of the night

Because You are my help

I sing in the shadow of Your wings

O God You are my God

Your love is better than life

My soul clings to You

Your right hand upholds me

O God You are my God

O God You are my God

O God You are my God

“in to Me see…. I see you” were the words that kept ringing in my head this week and guess what I found out? A friend wrote in her blog about God saying to her, “I see you”. Ha! How cool is that? This afternoon, we were praying for some people we haven’t met yet, and surprise, surprise, God told me to pray the same thing for this girl I was praying for. I think we just can’t deny that God sees every person, no one can hide from His gaze, including YOU. Yes, He’s saying to you, “I see you…. In to Me see.” He desires intimacy with us and so He wants us to look unto Him. When we see Him, we find ourselves. Isaiah, for instance, first the Lord saw him, he saw God, and then he saw himself and found his calling.
