We sometimes have a tendency to forget ourselves and to set aside our needs in order to care for other people. This is not bad! But we must remember that the most important gift we could ever give to the world is to be the best of who we are.
It’s our very presence that should stir joy and inspiration in their hearts, not merely the things that we do.
Think about our relationship with God. God gives us many things – food to eat, clothes to wear, friends to talk to, activities to enjoy, dreams to achieve, missions to accomplish. But though these things be good and many, not one of them could ever compare to the Giver of them all. Even if we could have His gifts, our happiness wouldn’t be complete without His Very Presence, the Gift of Himself.
We don’t seek God in order to have the world, we seek God because if we have Him, we wouldn’t need anything more!
To Look Using God's Own Eyes I pray I could learn to look at people, the way God sees each one of us - to be able to forego the little mistakes, maybe even the big ones to be able to see weaknesses turned into strength to know something’s hurting and yet know that the hurt would be healed in time to look beyond judgment to see with an understanding heart to see what’s beautiful to appreciate what’s good to not measure anybody’s destiny with their present plight but to see real hope for everyone the way God sees us
To know that orphans have their Father
To know that those imprisoned have One who will set them free
To see how the poor will one day bask in God’s abundance
To see the broken-hearted in days when God Himself will cradle them upon His lap
To be able to see with God’s own eyes is to see with gladness, with hope, and with a love so strong it could never ever fail!
I urge you to know who you really are; in your eyes, in your heart.
Know thyself, especially your strengths.
Know that which is beautiful.
Know that which is loveable.
Know that which has made you the unique and wonderful person that you are!
