I spent the first half of my life really disliking people.
“I hate people!” would effortlessly roll off my lips. (I cringe just thinking about it now.)
Then I met Jesus. And He began to develop in me a love for HIS people, through HIS eyes.
These two videos reflect that desire to see people through the Maker’s eyes.
The first is Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath:
As I was learning to love people, I tried to teach my girls to remember that when someone is being mean or rude or angry, we don’t know what they are going through in their personal life or what they are experiencing on the inside, so we should strive to show grace.
And the more we understand how much grace God extends to us, the easier it is to extend it to others.
I find the next video to be very impactful in this area.
