Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything 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"

How awesome would it be to see people the way that Jesus saw people? When we see an angry, irrational person, God sees their pain. Jesus saw their pain. How could we retaliate with frustration? How would we be able to look a person in the eyes and sincerely be upset if we saw what Jesus saw in that person.
Is a person's life, their core, their soul, not worth more than that moment of frustration? Even the Devil knows this. Do you think He really wants us happy? He couldn't care less if we were happy or sad just as long as we keep our hearts from going to God. If all He has to do is make a person rich to get their soul He'll do it a thousand times over.
We are the Body of Christ. Apparently most people want to be the head of Christ, but few people are actually doing the work. How can God save the world with just a head? He needs arms to reach, feet to keep pushing forward, hands to grasp onto people, it's a never-ending analogy really. The focal point of Jesus' Ministry was the sick. Doctors don't come to help the healthy after all. I was listening to the radio and the man said,"80% of Christians agreed that helping out the poor and needy was a vital part of Jesus' Ministry,"however, "of that 80% just 2% actually felt like they were out doing that sort of work" I'm not trying to condemn people, this is more like a public challenge to myself. I was also hoping maybe it would inspire other people too.
I'm going to start with that homeless guy off the Harding Exit on my way home.
I love Valentine's Day because it shows a person's real character and feelings toward another person. Whether it's a well-thought out gift or (true story) breaking up with someone so you don't have to get a gift and then asking them out the next day! Yeah a guy from my high school did that (and she said yes) Ladies, come on, seriously? Well regardless of how your Valentine's day goes, think about my challenge and maybe hold back on treating yourself TOO much and instead treat other. After going out to eat send a few dollars over t a table with people you don't know and may never know. "Store up your riches in heaven"
God Bless Ya'll,<--Haha you like that guys?
