I See You

Too often we judge people before we know their situation. We put a critical or judgmental title on them without knowing why they are the way they are. We need to see things from their perspective instead of stereotyping them.

We don’t know what is going on in their life. We just see the addiction, the behavior, the fault.  We weren’t put in people’s life to judge them but to encourage them. We are to be dealers of hope, not dealers of misery to them.  We should see through eyes of compassion not criticizing.  We should see them through the eyes of love not judgement.  When we see their why it will change us.  We all have a story; you have a story, I have a story.  We judge people through our past. This is not fair to them.  We may be strong in an area where they are weak.  We are quick to talk down to them, judging them.  Remember that it’s only by the grace of God that you aren’t dealing with that addiction, that mindset, that insecurity, that abuse.  We have the choice of seeing people through understanding, forgiving, compassionate eyes.  We can all find fault and criticize, but love will overcome all their mistakes.  We don’t have to magnify their issues and problems, but we should help them to walk through their dark times, their wilderness and come out better.  Change your perspective today and see folk the way you want to be seen. Through the eyes of love.
