Give Me Your Eyes and Love Lord

I'm listening to Brandon Heath's Give Me Your Eyes( you can find it on my playlist at the bottom of my blog :) and thought I'd do a post :) I hadn't heard this song for a long time and it reminded that we need to pray that we would see people with God's eyes not man's eyes. The world tells us to judge people right off the bat and not really give them a chance! and see them as God sees them! I mean God gives us second chances so why shouldn't we?? God looks at our hearts not our outer appearance so why shouldn't we? if He suddenly looked only at our outside appearances we wouldn't stand a chance! But He doesn't!! Aren't you so glad?! We need to pray also that we would have the love of God to give to others ( go here to read about my 2010 goal relating to love). Not just love but real love, loving someone for who they are and thanking God everyday for them. But first we need to love God

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind- Matthew 22:36

then we can love others...

"But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without

expecting to get anything back.Then your reward will be great, and you
will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." - Luke 6:35

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
Ephesians 4:2


We need to love like this....

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13

Just some thoughts...
