Blind Eyes

How do the little things pass us by? Why are we so consumed with our lives and what we're going through that we can't see the others hurting around us? We must open our blind eyes, open our hearts to others.
I think the bigest place that people's struggles, people's pain is overlooked is in the church. I think that many assume that if someone claims to believe in god that they are always ok. But the truth is they're not, and the reason they show up on Sunday mornings is so that someone may see their hurt or their pain.
People come to church,bible beliving christians, new age belivers and everyone in between because church is where they expect to find love and understanding, a place they can be accepted. The sad thing is many of us who go to church are preoccupied with our own problems that we aren't able to see, our eyes are closed and we are blinded to the opportunities to love and accept others. In the end we end up pushing many further away, and they are left hurt more deeply.
May god open not only the eyes of the church but also the eyes of every individual to see, to hear..."Does anybody see her, does anybody hear? Does anybody even know she's going down today...under the shadow of the steeple, all the lost and lonley people"
