When we begin to see through God's eyes, we actually can see. See for the first time. See people for who they are not what they are. Today was one of those days -- a day to see beyond ourselves. When you have shoveled so much cement and emptied your boots of sweat twice, you begin to see a new world, new attitude, new hope. It's not about the things you can find to complain about (like the blister on your hand or your sore feet), because there will always be something. But it's the reason you've received your wounds.
I once knew a man who was wounded for people He loved... without condition He loved them all. And He has the scars to prove that love. I will wear boldly my aches and scars in honor of love and sacrifice! Just as my Savior once did for me. It's all worth it to see a smiling face... beaming with true happiness. A happiness free of the corruption of wealth and prosperity. A pure innocent happiness that inspires change. Jesus shines through in the face of those that need... "For whatever you do for the least of these, you have done for me..."
We are the only ones that can do what God has called us to do. Why wait and hope that someone else will take care of it?
Do now, think later...
