Seeing the Unseen
Every day we pass people we do not notice. Often it is because we encounter so many people and it is hard to see individuals in the midst of the crowd. At other times it is because we are too busy and do not see them. Singer Ginny Owens, who is blind, uses this idea of being unseen as a reminder to discover someone you may not know.
| Listen to Ginny |
Zacchaeus was “unseen” until he climbed a tree and Jesus noticed him. The story from Luke uses some vivid imagery. Jesus called him by name, He used the phrase "come down quick," and Zacchaeus had great excitement and joy. The over-the-top response of Zacchaeus shows how much it means to be noticed. Keep your eyes open for ways you can get to know some of the "unseen" around you - those who may not be like you. Then look for ways you can be a friend to them.

About this Plan
Caring for the needs of individual people was very important to Jesus. We see how He healed people, met with outcasts and showed love to children. Scripture clearly shows Jesus’ compassion. Each of the five devotionals contain a short audio message (1-2 minutes). The guests share about seeing needs, looking for opportunities and giving their time. You too can be a loving friend that makes a difference to someone.
