What do you see?

How many times have I looked with the eyes of my heart? Not many. How many times have I looked with my natural, unrenewed mind. Too many. I beleive there is a new breed of leadership being raised up in the church. I believe it’s what Jeremiah prophesied in chapter 23. It’s those who will look at the flock with a tender jeoulosy. When you read through the gospels you see Jesus looking and moving in the gift of compassion, looking through the exterior of people’s failures and seeing into their motives. His gaze was piercing I’m sure. My heart is heavy with the lack of discenrnment I carry when I relate to people and It’s not ok. I don’t want to move and operate in the sensory realm primarily, I want to live and move in the Spirit. I want to see people how God sees them and comfort them like Jesus would have, or rebuke them like Jesus would have. Wow, that’s a huge sentance I just wrote. Nevertheless, the Lord is looking for shepherds after His own heart, He wants people to lead His people, His way! What does that look like? Help!

I Samuel 16:7 “the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
