OUR FATHER'S EYES
Have you ever pondered on how a child that is despised by the world, is seen through their parent's eyes. No matter how much wrong they may have done, and all the pain and suffering the family endured due
to the child's choices ... The parent still sees the lil
child within who they brought into this world, raised and
watched grow from an infant.
It is THEIR
child.
And they see
their child through eyes of LOVE.
A parent's
eyes.
I would like to share a song with you about looking through God's Eyes and feeling through His Eyes.
This looking through our Father's eyes Christian song won Song of the Year, so it obviously touched many souls.

Give Me Your Eyes
Looked down from a
broken sky. Traced out by the city lights. My world
from a mile high. Best seat in the house tonight.
Touched down on the cold black tile. Hold on for the
sudden stop. Breath in the familiar shock. Of
confusion and chaos. Are those people going
somewhere? Why have I never cared?
Give me your eyes for
just one second. Give me your eyes so I can see.
Everything that I keep missing. Give me your love
for humanity. Give me your arms for the broken
hearted. The ones that are far beyond my reach. Give
me your heart for the once forgotten. Give me your
eyes so I can see.
Step out on a busy
street. See a girl and our eyes meet. Does her best
to smile at me. To hide whats underneath. There’s a
man just to her right. Black suit and a bright red
tie. To ashamed to tell his wife. He’s out of work.
He’s buying time. Are those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?
Give me your eyes for
just one second. Give me your eyes so I can see.
Everything that I keep missing. Give me your love
for humanity. Give me your arms for the broken
hearted. The ones that are far beyond my reach. Give
me your heart for the once forgotten. Give me your
eyes so I can see.
I’ve been there a
million times. A couple of million eyes. Just moving
past me by. I SWEAR I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS WRONG.
Well I want a second glance. So give me a second
chance. To see the way you see the people all alone.
Give me your eyes for just one second. Give me your
eyes so I can see. Everything that I keep missing.
Give me your love for humanity. Give me your arms
for the broken hearted. The ones that are far beyond
my reach. Give me your heart for the once forgotten.
Give me your eyes so I can see. |
With this song in
mind, let us look into the Bible for how to look through His Eyes.
Through our Father's eyes of unconditional love.
that is how to view those which you encounter ...
through God's eyes
We are to love one another and what we do for
and to others, we do for and to JESUS:
|
Matthew 25:40
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say
unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. |
I would like to share a few
words from another Christian song teaching us to see others through God's Eyes. The song is called ... What if I stumble by DC Talk.
|
"The greatest
single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians,
who acknowledge Jesus with their lips. Then walk out the
door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an
unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
|
Now, obviously it is saying
that we should walk the walk. That we are to be DOERS and
not just hearers of the Word:
|
James
1:22
But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves. |
Hearing and then stepping away and forgetting everything we
experienced when we choose looking through God's Eyes and understanding through His Eyes.
|
James
1:23-24
For if any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is
like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For
he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
Hearing and feeling that SPIRIT within the Words, but
CHOOSING not to abide by the Words.
|
Ezekiel 33:31-33
And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit
before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they
will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love,
but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo,
thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a
pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they
hear thy words, but they do them not. |
They HEAR and say AMEN ...
And then step out and follow
after their own heart and will:
Not only Christians, but
Christian leaders and teachers ...
|
Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy,
and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the
other undone. |
They lack looking through God's Eyes and feeling through His Eyes ... This is referring to the
people who like to use the laws to condemn the lost and
troubled souls. While spitting out their knowledge of the
LAW ... They overlook the most important aspects of God’s
law, which is FAITH and MERCY:
And to LOVE ONE ANOTHER ...
|
John
13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love
one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another. |
I have always wondered how
individuals who ARE sinners, walk around using God’s Word to
judge and condemn others. KNOWING they too are sinners.
Here is a looking through God's Eyes and feeling through His Eyes tidbit of truth ... I have found that many times it is because they have such a fragile faith that the fear of loss of their own faith has
them teach and preach, using this manner of delivering God's
Word. Still others stopped doing a specific sin and they
feel that the day THEY stopped is the day the punishment
phase began.
An example of this would be
someone who had lust issues for many years then grew old and
the world no longer found any value in their flesh and they
became unwanted so they turned to Jesus for comfort and now
condemn any who have lust issues, because THEY no longer
have them.
We are supposed be looking through God's Eyes at others we encounter and sensing through His Eyes as to emit the same comfort that we enjoy:
|
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who
comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to
comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. |
Then there are others who
just love to step on the necks of those who are downtrodden
thinking they are taller when they do.
They educate themselves as to become
“Ministers of the Word” but focus on the LETTER of the Word
and fail to hear the SPIRIT as it is to be:
|
2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the New
Testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. |
Here is a Looking through God's Eyes and experiencing through His Eyes warning ... They do this as they have NOT the Spirit of God, but rather seek to edify themselves by
showing those who are not well learned of God’s Word just
how well they know the Bible and then try and CON-trol said
souls. In most cases these souls have selfish and even
sinister plots.
They seek to mask their own sin by hiding
behind God’s Word ...
|
Matthew 23:27
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness. |
The Lord was clear when referring to those who seek to judge
and condemn HIS children:
|
Matthew 23:13
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
shut up the kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go
in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to
go in. |
Another seeing through God's Eyes and loving through His Eyes danger ... We are taught CLEARLY that we are NOT to use
God’s Word to judge others.
|
Matthew 18:23-35
Therefore is the Kingdom of Heaven likened unto a
certain king, which would take account of his
servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was
brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand
talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his
lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and
children, and all that he had, and payment to be
made. The servant therefore fell down, and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me,
and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that
servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him,
and forgave him the debt. But the same servant went
out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed
him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and
took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou
owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet,
and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and
I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and
cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
So when his
fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that
was done. Then his lord, after that he had called
him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave
thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his
lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
till he should pay all that was due unto him. SO
LIKEWISE SHALL MY HEAVENLY FATHER DO ALSO UNTO YOU,
if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses. |
Living through God's Eyes and working on helping others by seeing them through His Eyes is wisdom. It
all boils down to what the essence of God is ... God allowed
His SON to be so horribly treated and beaten, then suffered
the most horrible death one could imagine. Just to give us
another chance. We should be this way with others ...
I wanna share one more song
with ya.
It is called Here I Go Again
by Casting Crowns.

Here I Go Again
Father, hear my prayer. I
need the perfect words. Words that he will hear. And know
they're straight from You. I don't know what to say. I only
know it hurts. To see my only friend slowly fade away.
So maybe this time . I'll speak the words of life. With Your
fire in my eyes. But that old familiar fear is tearin' at my
words. What am I so afraid of? 'Cause here I go again.
Talkin' 'bout the rain. And mullin' over things that won't
live past today. And as I dance around the truth. Time is
not his friend. This might be my last chance to tell him
that You love Him. But here I go again. Here I go again.
Lord, You love him so. You gave Your only Son. If he will
just believe. He will never die. But how then will he know.
What he has never heard? Lord he has never seen mirrored in
my life.
But here I go again. Here I go, here I go. This might be my
last chance. To tell him that You love him. This might be my
last chance. To tell him that You love him. You love him,
You love him. What am I so afraid ... What am I so afraid ...
What am I so afraid of? How then will he know. What he has
never heard?

Yet another Father's Eyes Bible study tip on loving others through God's Eyes ... We should be out there
sharing the TRUTH that God LOVES these souls.
Not showing em how much
Scripture we know and use it to CON-demn these lost and
troubled souls in some VAIN effort to edify ourselves, when
we know VERY WELL that WE ARE ALL SINNERS.
If any of you are being whispered to by
someone who APPEARS to be a man or woman of God and they are
using God’s Word to CON-demn or CON-trol you ...
Know that
TRUE
Christians would never seek ways to condemn or control you,
but rather ways to show you the LOVE that God has for you.
These souls
see you with GOD’S EYES ...
God sees what HIS children
CAN and WILL become. The potential that is within us.
Not what we have become after
being influenced by years of man’s world trends and
traditions.
Let us all pray to look upon
HIS children through His Eyes.
OUR FATHER'S EYES BIBLE STUDY REVEALS THAT WE ARE TO TRY AND LOOK AT OUR SURROUNDINGS AND OTHERS WE ENCOUNTER THROUGH GOD'S EYES OF LOVE BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH HIS EYES OF LOVE YOU WILL SEE OTHERS DIFFERENTLY AND MAY FIND THE TRUE YOU.
