SEEING ME THROUGH GOD'S EYES

Date Posted: January 25, 2009

Can you see me? I mean REALLY SEE ME? Not the outside person with the brown hair and brown eyes but the inside person, the one with God's character and God's dispositon? I know for my self that I have major character flaws and I have plenty of family and friends who could tell you what they are! But I am so blessed in the fact that they CHOOSE to see me through God's eyes and not their own. I have to choose to see myself through God's eyes and not my own eyes. It is called seeing through the eyes of love.

The eyes of love, does not see blindly, but sees kindly. The eyes of love sees the truth, but believes that there is more than meets the eye. The eyes of love sees the faults of others but also sees there is reasons that people act the way they do. The eyes of love sees my own faults but chooses to forgive them the way Jesus did. The eyes of love does not pretend that things are alright when they are not but the eyes of love does help to make things alright. SO seeing yourself through God's eyes and seeing others through God's eyes is not always the easiest thing in the world to do, but it is always the right thing and it ALWAYS 100% of the time works! Because God's love never fails and when you treat others and yourself with the love of God you will not fail! PLEASE THIS WEEK LOOK UP 1 CORINTHIANS 13 IN DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS AND SEE WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT HOW HE SEES YOU AND HOW YOU SHOULD SEE YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

Biography Information:

Lisa Mendenhall lives in Smackover, Arkansas with her husband of over 28 years, Chris. She has 4 grown children who also love the Lord, each serving Him in some capacity. As a teacher of the Word, Lisa, believes that she has a responsibility to use her God-given gift to teach those who have a desire to live victorious in Christ how to do so. She believes in order to live victoriously, one must get to know God and His character. His character is love. Therefore, Lisa has a heart-desire to bring people to a greater understanding of God's love. Her teachings explain that when His love is activated IN His children, it will motivate them to give just as His love motivated Him to give 'His only begotten Son', Jesus, to the world. God's wisdom does not always flow with the world's system of wisdom and His Word says, 'my people perish for lack of knowledge'. Lisa states, 'During meditation one day, I heard the word 'winnows'. With great curiosity, I learned it to mean,

'To separate the chaff from (grain) by means of a current of air. To rid of undesirable parts. To separate or get rid of (an undesirable part); eliminate: winnowing out the errors in logic. ...separate grain from chaff...separate the good from the bad...examine closely in order to separate the good from the bad; sift...' (www.dictionary.com) 'This study gave me direction and focus for my teaching. God had placed a longing in my heart to teach the body of Christ how to separate from carnal thinking and rid themselves of old ways that hinder their Spiritual growth. I desire to see them live victoriously, by the 'higher ways' of God's wisdom.'
