Hello Everyone,
We are continually faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.
-John W. Gardner-
When we ask God to help us see others through His eyes, we discover how empty and desperate those around us are.
Seeing the crowds of people wandering around like lost sheep, Jesus had compassion on them. Our Lord wants us to share in this compassion and an urgency to lead these lost ones to Him, the Good Shepherd.
It is natural for us to be consumed with ourselves and our daily routines. But God wants to consume us with passion to see the people in our lives the way He sees them.
The Bible gives us some ideas of how God sees those who do not know Him: “staggering toward slaughter” (Proverbs 24:11),
“condemned” (John 3:18), “perishing” (1 Corinthians 1:18), and
“living in darkness” (Matthew 4:16).
Until we have a sense of urgency about the rescue mission God has entrusted to us, those around us will stay just like they are, and we will remain dissatisfied with our lives.
We must ask God to break our hearts for the lost and allow Him to give us His love and compassion for them.
One-Less
Oh How HE Loves Us!
