Have you ever offered your eyes to God? Have you ever asked him to pour his wisdom into your perception, his perspective into each gaze? Have you ever stepped back and prayed, “God, how does this look to you?” If you do, you’ll never look at others the same way again…..Without God’s eyes, people become invisible to me. The guy shining my shoes at the airport, the woman cleaning up my hotel room, the cashier at the grocery store, the police officer directing traffic in the rain – my human heart has little room for the barely seen. Not God’s! His heart overflows with concern for their welfare, and he wants to pass on to us the same concern and compassion.
