SEEING THE WORLD WITH EYES OF FAITH

SEEING THE WORLD
WITH EYES OF FAITH


Some people say:
“SEEING IS BELIEVING”


But for US Christians
For at least MANY OF US=we
See the world
With EYES of FAITH


We see the world=NOT
Only as it is=but the world
As WHAT it can be


“I BELIEVE that I shall
See the BOUNTY of the Lord
In the land
Of the LIVING” Psalm 27:13


As CHRISTIANS
We PRAY that our hearts
And eyes are OPEN


So that we can see
The ORDINARY wonders
And ordinary MIRACLES
Of our daily lives


We see the miracles-
Even though we are ordinary men
And women


Because the apostles of Jesus
WERE ordinary men and they too
SAW Jesus' miracles


“When they saw the COURAGE
Of Peter and John


And REALIZED
That they were unschooled-
Ordinary men=they were ASTONISHED


And they took note
That these men
Had been with Jesus” Acts 4:13


YES the apostles
Were ordinary men and they
SAW the miracles of Christ
THROUGH the EYES of FAITH


Just as we=TODAY'S men and women=
And Jesus' apostles
SEE the miracles
In this sometimes LOST WORLD


Yes=we see the world
-With EYES OF FAITH-of not
Only what is=but
WHAT CAN BE


“........
As they set out
Jehoshaphat stood and said-


'LISTEN to me-
Judah and people of Jerusalem


Have FAITH in the Lord
Your God-and you will be upheld-


Have faith in the prophets
And you will be SUCCESSFUL” 2 Chronicles 20:20


“Have FAITH IN GOD,' Jesus answered-
'TRULY-I tell you-
If anyone says to this mountain'
'GO THROW yourself into the sea'
And does NOT doubt
In their heart


And BELIEVES what they say
Will happen-
It will be DONE for them'” Mark 11:22


“Jesus said to him,'
'RECEIVE your SIGHT
Your FAITH has healed you'


IMMEDIATELY he received his sight
And followed Jesus........” Luke 18:42


My friends-we NEED to see the world-
With the EYES OF FAITH
And good things will happen
For us too


I have LITERALLY found LIFE
And the GOOD THINGS in life
Because of God and Christ


So this EASTER SEASON
Let us KEEP our eyes WIDE OPEN
To God's GOODNESS


Ans SEE the WORLD
With the EYES OF FAITH


For we KNOW
The MIRACLES of CHRIST
Who knows what MIRACLES
Are yet to come


In Jesus' name=please LET IT BE
