Can I Borrow Those?

Wouldn't it be great if we could see people - all people - through Jesus' eyes? How much difference would it make for us to offer compassion and love as Jesus did? Imagine how full our hearts would feel and how uplifted others spirits might be....that's a pretty powerful image, isn't it?

My song selection this week is "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath. I picked another of Brandon's songs a month or two ago, both are from his 2008 CD - What If We. Give Me Your Eyes is enjoying some commercial success - in fact its winning airplay and fan support on mainstream radio, at least in San Diego. (Click to see and vote!) I like this song because it asks for the power to be more loving, caring, compassionate and aware by seeing with Jesus' eyes.

I know that I often overlook people all around me, I don't really see them at all. Could they use a smile or a kind greeting, maybe a bit of understanding or respect - come on, who couldn't?!!? If I wore my "Jesus Glasses" with any regularity, I'm confident that I'd improve the life of someone hurting or tired or under-appreciated. Imagine the effect of ALL of us looking at the world this way ....
