~His Eyes~
~His Eyes~
What would it be like to see People through the same eyes Jesus sees them through? What would we see in everyday people we so nonchalantly pass in our everyday life? What would we see?
We’d see thousands of people as they really are and not what they are trying and pretending to be. We’d see the real them. We’d see the person behind the mask. We’d see all the hurts, and pains, caused by; family, friends, relationships, friendships, fears, worries, and other (hurting) people. We’d see them crying on the inside, desperate for healing and change. We’d see sorrow and fear, mistrust and rejection, a lack of confidence and a lack of self esteem.
If we saw people in this way, how different would we treat them? How much would this change our look on people’s fragile lives? How much more would we try to show Christ’s love toward them? How much more would we be compelled to show God’s love? How much more would we then realize, how precious just one life is? ...How much would we then realize, as Christians, we are so blessed to know God’s love and healing and that we don’t have to live our lives hidden behind a mask of pain?
Instead of getting frustrated or annoyed with people, we’d want to show them the love of Jesus more than ever. We’d want to show them they don’t have to stay in hurt, pain, anger (Psalms 37:8), rejection, fear, anticipation (Philippians 4:6) or worry (2 Timothy 1:7, Psalms 37:5). But that Christ’s love and peace will overwhelm them, and is bigger than anything that has ever kept them bound inside.

Jump in!
Jump In the Water!!
In this blog, You may have some funny parallels, however follow it, and you'll see what I'm trying to say :)
First, think of God like the Ocean, the water (this is what he'll be referred to as).
God is like an Ocean, if You let him, He'll forever soak you in his love, peace, joy, power, healing, blessings, and whatever else you need him to be in your life.
Some people only want "enough God" to cool down from the heat of this world, so they'll stay ashore with only there feet a little wet. Others, in a boat, floating, satisfied, but scared to find out what lies beyond there "safe zone", thus they become comfortable just floating around (these are the people that go to church regularly, pray, worship, and hold bible studies on friday nights). These are also the ones shouting to others, from there "safe place" (there boat) that the water/ocean (God) is good and for the other people to come aboard!
However, only the few brave, curious, courageous Christians are willing to leave that comfortable floating place (there boat) and jump in the water to explore what else God has for them.-Only these people, brave enough to be different, will find no limits in the ocean, and will find and see the beauty that lies in the endless presence of God. The ones in the boat look at the people that have jumped in the water like they are crazy, but only the ones that have jumped in can truely know and see the fullest of God's Glory, and know the freedom once they have jumped in.
Floaters, Jump in! The devil isn't at all scared or threatend by you, he'll even sit with you in your boat keeping you from jumping in, he'll make you satisfied with were you're at. He'll scare you with the thoughts like; "If I do that, what will people think of me?", "I'll look funny doing that", or "I'm comfortable with where I'm at, I know where I'm going when I die, and thats all that matters, right?". He knows that if you jump in, and understand and get the revelation of God's love, you'll never go back to your boat. The devil is only threatened by those that have jumped in the water, those are the people that scare him.
Don't wait for a storm to make you realize you need to Jump in and go deeper in God.
But remember, where there is water there are other nuisances, like bugs, mosquitos, storms and such that will pester you along the way. Staying under the water (the presence of God) those things will be a brush of the shoulder.
Also, Be careful for those things that APPEAR to be the Ocean (God), such as; pools, lakes, rivers, and ponds, (these things represent false religions). Because in these you can only go so far, so deep until you hit bottom and discover there is nothing there and you are made to come back to the surface, and look for the real ocean.
-So, dont stay satisfied, on the shore, or floating in a boat above the water, but trust the one who knows the waters, inside and out. In order to go deeper, you have to jump out of your comfort zone (boat) and get wet! don't be scared! JUMP IN!! :)
