"Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so i can see
Everything that i keep missing
Give me your love for humanity"
What would we see if we could see with the eyes of God? Instead of seeing someone that annoys us, we see someone that we need to get to know better. Instead of seeing a beggar, we would see someone desperate for love and attention. And so on, countless examples could be given.
Instead, we usually see them through the eyes of our self-serving selves. People come into and out of our life every day, going different places and doing things, and we barely take notice. We don't try to think of their needs and the ways that we can love them and make the world a better place. Indeed, we don't think about them at all.
But how much different would we, would the world be if we make a concerted effort always to see each other through the eyes of God? To reach out and try to help people, and understand them and what they are looking for in life. We would learn empathy and compassion, and grow in all of the virtues that come from serving others.
Lord, give me Your eyes.
