We Can See It With our Eyes, God Created Us
Our bodies have God's signature all over it!
Usually, my visits to the eye doctor consist of answering “Is it better here or here?” about 25 times, but not today.
Pointing to the various parts of his “Anatomy of the Eye” picture, he explained how the eye is designed to heal itself from my problem.
I may not have understood all the terms he used, but I can summarize – our eyes are a miracle.
How they work, how they heal themselves, and how they develop is fascinating.
Everything in the eye is working together to do a miraculous thing that most of us take for granted each day.
Captivated by all the details, I blurted out, “God is amazing!”
Did I say that out loud?
I didn’t know if he believed in God or not.
He smiled, “Yes, He is.”
We took a moment and discussed how the eye is just one piece of the puzzle. You could talk all day about the intricate and intentional nature of each part of the human body.
There is no possibility our bodies were made by chance.
Our loving Heavenly Father knit us together in our mother’s womb.
For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Psalm 139:13-14a (NASB 1995)

Great facts!
Thanks Blake for the great comment. You bring a very important perspective! I, too, deal with parts of my body that don't work the way they were intended. Thanks for reminding us that all our bodies will be perfect in Heaven! We look forward to that time.
You are right, the body's ability to heal itself is incredible!
