Seeing His Eyes In Their Lives . . .

This is a re-post from my FB page, but a few peoplel really liked it!


Here's a thought that rocked my world the other day...I was reading Shane Claiborne's book, The Irresistible Revolution, and came across this idea: Jesus never talked to a prostitute, a murderer, an adulteress, or a thief because He did not see a prostitute, a murderer, an adulteress, or a thief. He just saw a child of God He was madly in love with.

More often than not I am so focused on the obvious condition or reputation of the person standing in front of me that I fail to see the One I love looking back at me... This is especially true if the person standing in front of me is someone who has hurt me or someone I just have a difficult time getting along with.

God please heal my heart so I can look into the eyes of those I don't even like and see You, the One I love . . .
