Day 5 Devotional: Seeing Through God's Eyes

Day 5: Becoming What We've Received

Reading: 1 John 4:19-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20

Devotional: Miss Thompson's transformation began when she saw Teddy Stallard through God's eyes. Instead of a hopeless, smelly boy, she recognized a wounded child who needed love. Her changed perspective changed his life. We are called to be the visible expression of Christ to a broken world. This means loving people the way Jesus loved us—unconditionally, sacrificially, and transformatively. You were once "as is," accepted by grace alone. Now you're being conformed to His image so others can see Jesus in you. Today, identify someone in your life who needs to experience God's love through you. Perhaps they're difficult, different, or damaged. Ask God for eyes to see their divine label beneath their current condition. Then love them toward their destiny.
