Birth Defect

Near-sighted,
seeing only
my needs
my pain
my perspective.

Far-sighted,
seeing only
their shortcomings
their stupidity
their sin.

I was born blind.

Unseen, invisible God,
You alone can heal these eyes of mine.
Cause these scales to fall away.

Let me see
my self
my sin
my salvation
through Your eyes.

Remove the blinders of self and superiority
that hide my true condition.

Destroy the cataracts of bitterness and pride
that distort my vision of others.

Filter my view of their brokenness
through Your lenses of grace and mercy.

Be magnified until You are all I see
