LOOK INTENTLY

Today's reading: Acts 3-4

"Peter and John looked at him intently..." Acts 3:4 NLT

Before they said a word...

Before they quoted Scripture...

Before they touched the man...

Before they offered words and healing that would change the fella's life...

They looked intently at him.

They noticed him.

They took the time to be reminded that this person standing before them was also a creation of the Most High God.

That single solitary time spent looking intently gave them pause.

Because they were reminded he stood where they very well could have stood.

They quickly recalled how much the glory of God in their own lives changed them.

They saw the soul within the useless body before they responded.

And respond they did!

They introduced this fella, this fella they paused long enough to really recognize, to the power of God!

May we all stop long enough to look intently into the eyes, heart and lives of another today.
