Give Me Your Eyes

For God so loved the world that He sent His One & Only Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but TO SAVE THE WORLD THROUGH HIM. John 3:16-17

Question: What’s hard for God's people to love?

Prayer for Spiritual Lasic, Adjust Our Vision, LORD:

O Lord help us SEE people THROUGH Your Eyes. ALL the people of the world, Lord, we all hurt, we all need You...the poor (and the rich), the broken (and the beautiful,) the victimized (and the incarcerated), give us Your Eyes of Mercy. Lord help us see the need in those closest to us; those who live across the street; AND those on the other side of the world. Lord, bring SPIRITUAL LASIC to Your people, revive us, refocus us, remove our cataracts. Shake the scales from our eyes as You did with the Apostle Paul. Help us see people & love them, with the same amazing love that You have lavished upon us.

Lyrics to Brandon Heath's song GIVE ME YOUR EYES:

Look down from a broken sky, Traced out by the city lights, My World from a mile high; Best seat in the house tonight. Touch down on the cold black top, Hold on for a sudden stop, Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion, chaos. All those people going somewhere... Why have I never cared?

Give me Your eyes for just one second. Give me Your eyes so I can see, every thing that I keep missing. Give me Your love for humanity. Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted, the ones that are far beyond my reach. Give me Your Heart for the ones forgotten, Give me Your Eyes so I can SEE!

Step out on a busy street, see a girl and our eyes meet, does her best to smile at me, to hide what's underneath. There's a man just to her right, black suit & a bright red tie, too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buying time. All those people going somewhere... Why have I never cared?

I've been here a million times, a couple of million eyes, just move and pass me by, I swear I never thought that I was wrong! I want a 2nd glance; give me a 2nd chance to see the way You've SEEN the people all along … JESUS GIVE US YOUR EYES!
