Why Through His Eyes?

This verse just really hit me one day! I realized that as the selfish being that I am, apart from Christ I will never have a true appreciation for the community that I live in, not in a gospel sense at least.

So a good way to start praying for your community, your work environment and even your friends and family is to ask God to help you view them through His eyes. This will give you a good starting point! Jesus had compassion for the lost, so seeing your community through His eyes will cause you to have compassion for them as well. Jesus cared for his people, so seeing your friends, family and brothers and sisters in the Lord through His eyes will cause you to "have a care" for them as well.

My desire is to see God glorified in my community - I pray for the salvation of many - for opportunities to share and of course for our ability to share effectively!
