Give Me Your Eyes!

A couple of years ago Jonny Diaz came out with the song Give Me Your Eyes. Although its a beautiful song I never really gave it much thought. The idea just recently became clear to me. To see the world through the eyes of God really changes the perspective of things. It's amazing how things look so different when you view things through His eyes. If we take time to stop and view things the way He does, things become alot clearer. We spend so much time focusing our attention inward that we miss out on all the things that God has for us. I never really saw that until recently. It's not hard to see the needs of others when we are not focusing on ourselves. I've never really been good and putting others first. It is hard to look outward. Until I really learned what it meant to be second, I had no idea. God loves us and has a plan for us, but He will not force it on us. He is waiting on us to step up and see with His eyes, feel with His hands, and hear with His ears. We claim to be His and yet still have to be asked. I thank God that He doesn't require me to ask Him for everything I stand in need of. I can't help but think about what I'd have or wouldn't have if God required me to ask Him for everything I stand in need of. I believe that the closer we get to Him the more we will see as He sees, hear as He hears, and feel what He feels. All this requires us to look beyond our own little world. Believe it or not, life is not all about you. God wants to use each of us. But he will not force His will upon us. This world is dieing and going to Hell in a hand basket and we don't seem to care. Please prove me wrong. Show me that you understand how to look beyond yourself. Maybe everyone else is doing a great job at showing the world the love of Christ and I've just not seen it. When was the last time you lead someone to Christ. If I find a good restaurant, it doesn't take me long to find hungry people and tell them about it. This world is hungry for a God who loves them and all we have to do is lead them to Him with our words and actions. They are waiting on you, what are you waiting on?
