“So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” (2 Corinthians 4:18 NLT)
It is a choice every single day to either rely on the naked eye or to trust the Father God and believe what we really can’t see. A life of faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Issues, situations, trials, and tribulations will throw water in your face and make you wake up to the unseen, Faith. They are all crossroads of Faith. One of the first spiritual principles I ever learned was to not look at life through my naked eyes but to look through my spiritual eyes. The unseen things, the spiritual things, eternal things: wearing your faith glasses that always work through love. Galatians 5:6 says, “… the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” When we realize that the God of the universe created us for His good pleasure and that we were made in His image and given His Spirit; we realize we also have His vision.
We must first use this vision to see ourselves. We are children of the King. Royalty! We are ambassadors. Authority! You have unlimited potential and power. When you start looking at yourself through the mirror of the Word and realize that you are madly loved; it is a game changer. This allows you to let the Father God take your trash and make it a treasure. Father God is always better at saving than we are at sinning. He has you covered. We can’t earn it and we will never deserve it, but it is our gift of love that is given freely. You are destined for greatness so don’t let pain, past, present, people, and pride stop you from your God purpose. Put on your spiritual glasses of faith and see what the Father sees in you and others.
Knowing God’s purpose is more about a relationship than a job title, it is a life long journey of a beautiful love story. God focuses more on who you are becoming rather than all you are doing. Living by Faith is the game changing decision that you have to make. You have to always choose the Father’s side; the side of love and faith.
