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.
