SEEING GOD=IN OTHERS
BASICALLY=everyone today who
Wears glasses=would have been
CONSIDERED BLIND=In Jesus' day
Myself included
What a great ASSET=corrective lenses
Are=in today's world
BLINDNESS was a big problem
In the ancient world
And SIGHT is used frequently
FOR SPIRITUAL AWARENESS
Are you SEEING GOD in others?
Do you have SPIRITUAL
VISION PROBLEMS=in today's world?
"Master=I want to see'=
Jesus told him=
'Go your way=your faith
Has saved you'
Immediately=he received his SIGHT=
And followed him=on the way" Mark 10:51-52
The LIGHT is always there=
But do we USE the light
To SEE God=to see
THE GOOD in other people
So much of our SPIRITUAL WORK
Is about seeing God
All around us
About SEEING GOD=
In other people
SEEING God in other people=
LOOKING=for the Lord
"But the Lord
Said to Samuel=
'Do not-
Consider his appearance-
Or his height
For I have rejected him
The Lord does not
LOOK at the things
People LOOK AT
People LOOK
At the outward appearance
But the Lord
LOOKS AT THE HEART'" 1 Samuel 16:7
"Don't you have
A saying'
'It's still four months
Until harvest?'
I tell you
Open your eyes
And LOOK=at the fields!
They are=ripe for harvest" John 4:35
We need to SEE
The Lord in other people=
Rather than being BLINDED
By fear=by doubt=and by anger
Dear Lord=HELP US
To see the LORD
IN OTHERS
Help us to see you
Dear Lord=in your HANDIWORK=
And in everyone and everything
We ENCOUNTER TODAY
"For we are=GOD'S HANDIWORK=
Created in Christ Jesus
To do GOOD WORKS'=
Which God prepared in advance
For us to do" Ephesians 2:10
"Religion that God our Father
Accepts as pure and faultless=is this=
To LOOK AFTER orphans and widows
In their distress
And to keep oneslf
From being polluted
By the world" James 1:27
Dear Lord=we pray
HELP US to see the Lord
In all the OTHERS
In this world
And REALIZE=everyone has
Something to offer
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our HOLY FATHER GOD=
Who has PERFECT 20/20 VISION
