As Christians, one main goal of our life should be to walk each day as Jesus would and to see the world THROUGH HIS EYES.
Jesus cares most about how much we love Him and try to follow in His footsteps each day.
What would Jesus do if He were in your footsteps?
Think about how Jesus looks at your life THROUGH HIS EYES, and the things that are most important to Him.
Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” –Matthew 22:37-38 (NIV)
************************************************************************
THROUGH HIS EYES, our heart is more important than our successes or failures.
Jesus doesn’t keep track of how many things we are good or bad at. He also doesn’t dwell on the negative or failures in our lives that we humans tend to focus on.
Jesus sees the beauty found within our hearts.
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” –1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

THROUGH HIS EYES, worry and fear are not found.
Jesus’ love casts away the worry or fear that we may experience. With Jesus, we have the faith that He will work every detail out for us.
Jesus sees how we can overcome worry and fear by trusting in Him more.
For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, “Do not fear; I will help you.” –Isaiah 41:13 (NIV)
***********************************************************************
THROUGH HIS EYES, there is no problem that is too big or can’t be resolved.
Jesus has a solution for every problem we may face. In our lives, we usually want the easy way out of any problem or situation, but that may not be the best solution for the situation– or for our lives.
Jesus sees that all things work out for the good of them that love Him.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. –Romans 8:28 (NIV)
**************************************************************************
Each day, strive to see your life a little more THROUGH HIS EYES.
Live your life focusing on the things that Jesus sees.
You will then be following in His footsteps and seeing the world THROUGH HIS EYES.
For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him…. 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NIV)

I’m blessed to know this was helpful to you, Lora! How nice to know you’re still reading. Thanks for the encouragement. God bless!
This is a different outlook. Not just relying on God’s Word but viewing our surroundings as if we’re looking through His eyes. That’s a totally different step. Thank you so much for sharing!
I do think when I focus on seeing the world through God’s eyes, it does change my focus to the things that are most important. Thank you for reading and blessing me, Clarissa!
Oh Christine, I LOVE this! If we could see ourselves through His eyes… or see those that have hurt us through His eyes or those that have wandered faaaaar from home.
If we could see through His eyes the compassion that would fill our hearts!

You are so right, Marie….the compassion that would fill our hearts and enable us to love more like Him! May we strive to imitate in more each day in our lives. I am glad you were blessed….thank you for all the blessings you share with me!
Indeed through His eyes all things are possible, all things are great, and everywhere there is a blessing.
