Today my prayer focus is seeing people like Christ does. Examine how you describe a person or how you think about them, is that the way Christ would describe them? Is that the way you would describe them out loud? It is so easy to see the surface and not bother to look beyond but today I tried to think each time I saw a surface I didn't like: God fashioned this person just like they are, if this a distortion of them I am seeing or am i critiquing God's work? If it is a distortion caused by sin can I really judge them? Aren't I daily distorted into a horrid person by the sins in my own life? Would I like someone to judge me on my selfish, judgemental or agitated moments?
"Search my heart Lord and rid thoughts that do reflect your truth. Help me to look at people and see their needs and not their deficits."
