Seeing But Not Seeing

My complaint:

Lord, You fill me with Your breaking heart and tears,
and so I paint and write what You tell me to.
But then many people don't see what is painted and spoken;
instead they see what they want to see,
and say "amen" as if it affirms their beliefs.
Lord! I can't count how many times this happens!
I'm so tired of this!

Your answer:

"Don't My children do the same with My word?
Don't they look and see only what they want to see?
Don't they point to what affirms their beliefs
instead of listening to My heart?"
