See by Faith

The more I seek you, the more I find you.  The more I find you, the more I love you. ~ "The More I Seek You," Kari Jobe

Five or ten years ago, it was common to see WWJD everywhere, on bracelets, Bible covers, t-shirts, etc.  The concept was if Jesus was here, what would He do or how would He respond.  What if we rearrange that a little bit and change our focus.  What if we determine to see and hear Jesus in everyone; how differently might you respond?  You see, when you focus on Jesus, and look at the world through spiritual eyes, you're no longer seeing fleshly earth suits, you're looking past that into the pain or the joy of who they are underneath.  Now, by faith, cover them in the love of Jesus.  Do they become easier to love if you see Jesus instead of whatever their earth suit is doing?  Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me," (Matthew 25:40).  We all want to do everything for Jesus, but sometimes, there are people we don't have that same attitude toward.  If you saw the face of Jesus instead of theirs or recognized His affect instead of theirs, would it make it easier to act and respond in love?  Ask God to anoint your eyes, to give you spiritual eyes, that you may see by faith instead of by sight.  Even Star Wars knew, "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them."

We live by faith, not by sight. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7
