2 Corinthians 5:14
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
One died for ALL! Yes, that even means the Hitlers, Stalins, Husseins, Mansons, and your even your archenemy. I know that is probably hard to swallow. It is much easier to look at all of these people as pure evil and don’t deserve to live let alone be saved. However, Jesus died on that cross for them also.
What if today you looked at everyone through God’s eyes? What if you saw His children and not just pure evil? Would you feel God’s pain? I don’t mean the anger and hurt you feel. I mean the pure pain of hurt because the child you created has gone so wrong and you want to reach out and help but they don’t want your help. What if you could feel the heartbreak and sorrow?
What would happen if you could exchange the anger and revenge feelings for the heartache and sorrow? Yes, pain would still be involved but the focus would change. It would come from a place of love and not hate. You would begin to feel sorry for the person. I know this sounds strange, but it may even feel freeing. Sorrow hurts deep but the light will get through again. Anger and hatred tear you apart violently and block out all light until you let it go. So, let it go and see others today through God’s eyes.
Lord, help me see through Your eyes. ~amen
