~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.
