I See You

Although I have not seen the wildly  successful - $1.12 billion in revenues and counting, Avatar, I have not been able to miss the hoopla around it.  As I flip through the channels, I see Oprah shouting to her audience to 'Go see Avitar!', actors being interviewed and the producer being awarded.  It seems like the whole world is embracing this technological wonder.  I have read the reviews and its content (http://www.pluggedin.com/) and find it not surprising all the spiritual undertones.  However, I think the theme song says it more than the average listener hears. 
In the song 'I See You', the artists theme is about being seen. The truth is everyone wants to be seen and heard.  We all want our prescence to be acknowledge and validated, we all want at least one person in this life to say 'I see you'.  The question I ask myself is 'Do I really see those around me? Do I see the people I come into contact with on a daily basis.  Do my eyes, my smile, my words convey the message ' I see you'?  I am determined to do a better job to validate those around me and let them know I see you. 

However,  I want to take this song a little deeper.  Not only are we all wanting to be seen but the one who gave us life is gently whispering "I see you".   God is not saying I see you as the all seeing eye ready to punish and pass judgement on all those who don't measure up.    He is the El Roi - “The God Who sees".  Before the begining of time God saw (Genesis 1) He saw as he created the earth and continues to see throughtout the ages.  He is whispering to you and me 'I see you', 'I love you' and I have reedemed you.  Take a close look at the words of the new popular song and can see the words of the El Roi repeated in many of the verses.
