[Kjerisa’s Eyes, by Ellie Hetrick. February, 2014.]

This Photo Friday I want to share this photo of our third grandchild, 6-month-old, Kjerisa.

Those eyes! Looking directly at her mom, Ellie, after bath time. Kjerisa’s eyes reveal her open trust and love for her mom. There is no fear. Nothing guarded. Nothing artful. Only peace and perfect content.

Average people who hope in Christ have this same hope: that they will one look upon their great God and Savior without sin, without fear, unguarded, with perfect trust and perfect love. Perfectly welcomed and embraced.

…having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you…—Ephesians 1:18, ESV
