LOOK THEM IN THE EYE

Today's reading: Proverbs 22

"The rich and the poor have this in common: The Lord made them both." Proverbs 22:2 NLT

Think about it...

The people who love you, the people who have molded you into the image of Jesus, the people who have poured their hearts and souls into your becoming a model citizen, good soldier and believing Christian--it's easy to see God in them. Isn't it?

It gets a little harder to see Him in the lives, attitudes and actions of those who cross us.

The unkind supervisor.

The unlovely neighbor.

The unkempt man on the corner.

But when we look anyone, anyone at all, in the eye--we should see God.

We should be immediately brought back to the fact that we are all made in the image of our Creator.

So choose to look everyone in the eye.

Pause long enough to catch Him reflection in their faces.

Remember you both have the same Father.

Then, only then, act accordingly.
