See Them Thru His Eyes

We just had our Missions Conference at church this past saturday evening. Natalie and I did a dance/drama to the song "Give Me Your Eyes". That song has made me think how invisible hurting and broken people are to us as christians everyday. We get so caught up in what is going on in our lives that we forget to see people thru God's eyes. Its not that they are totally invisble to us its just that we dont see them thru his eyes. In order to see people thru his eyes we have to surrender all of our pre conceived ideas of what we have of people when they are messed up on drugs, prostituting out on the streets, an alcoholic, homeless and eating out of trash cans to survive, or whatever it is these people are going thru. It doesnt matter if its going on here or in another country we need to see people thru God's eyes. Love them with unconditional love and pray for them and help them in whatever way we can. We cant just say oh they will just take the money and buy drugs, alcohol, blow it on something else. That is not for us to judge them on nor should we be concerned with. We are to give to them as unselfishly as the father did to us by giving us his son to die for us. Can we do no less than to help hurting people that seem unloved and abandoned. Missions isnt always helping people in other countries its also about helping people in our communities. I thank god for the missionaries that go into other countries and poor their sweat, blood, and tears into these people that they meet. They give so freely of themselves lovingly and unselfishly. That is how we should be everyday to everyone we meet. We should show them the love of God in all we do. So dont look at them thru your eyes any more see them thru Gods eyes, because someone took the time to see you thru his eyes too.

Limitations...Why Do We Put Them On God?

Why is it that we put limitations on what we think god can do? Someone asked me how you can u be filled up until u cant get anymore of god, but then want him to keep asking him to fill you. That is what i call drenching and soaking in all of god until its oozing out of me. Our human minds cant understand how god can possibly keep pouring himself into us. Dont put limitations on what god can do. He wants to inhabit every part of our lives. I just want god to have every part of me until I cant possibly understand how he can do more, give me more, fill me more and then just soak in his presence, breath him in, feel him right there with me. I want more of god than I have ever wanted and want to be able to tell others what it is he has done for me. I want them to see it in the way I live my life everyday and make them stop and say what is it about her that she has this joy and light about her even when things arent going well in my life. More of god is what we should all want and seek everyday. So dont put a limitation on how he can possibly fill you up more when you cant possibly be filled anymore. Its all in our limited human understanding of what we think god can do.

I Want The Fire To Consume Every Part of Me

This song has gotten down in my spirit and has never left. God wont relent (give up) until he has every part of you. He wants to take all of the yuck that is inside of you that has been holding you back for so long. We have scars from our past hurts that have built up a wall around our heart. It sounds funny to say, but we are more comfortable with the pain that the scars have left behind than we are to open up our hearts to god so that he can tear down and take out what isn't supposed to be there. We would rather deal with the scars because we can hide behind them and not have to feel anything anymore and we don't have to give all to god. We hold back on purpose because of fear. Fear of serving god and what he will ask of us. Nothing should ever hold you back from god wanting every part of you. We want every part of god but we aren't willing to give him every part of ourselves. He wants to replace all the mess that we have inside us with his heart so that you and he can become one. I want all that god has for me until I possibly cant take it anymore and then I want him to give me more. I don't ever want him to stop pouring himself into me. Its like this song says "...come be the fire inside of me...come be the flame within my heart..." That's exactly how I feel. I want the fire of god to burn in me so bright that you can see nothing but him and not me. I want the fire to consume every part of me. That is my prayer for everyone and myself.
