Week 6: Seeing with God’s Eyes

Focus: Learning to see the world as God does and living in hope, renewal, and restoration.

Connect: Have you ever struggled to see people the way God sees them? It’s easy to view others through our personal biases—judging them based on their past, their mistakes, or even their differences. But what if God is inviting us to see beyond the surface and love as He loves?

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus did something unexpected: He knelt down and washed His disciples’ feet. It was an act of humility and love, showing them that true greatness comes from serving others. This included Judas, the one who would betray Him. Jesus didn’t withhold His love, even from someone who would hurt Him.

What if this week, as we approach Holy Week, we ask God to help us see with His eyes—seeing the people around us with compassion, grace, and love rather than assumptions or judgment?

Engage: In John 13, Jesus tells His disciples:
"I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you."

Jesus calls us not just to admire His love but to live it out. When we serve others—especially those we find difficult to love—we reflect God’s heart. Loving like Jesus means choosing humility, kindness, and selflessness, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Apply: Think of someone in your life who may need to experience the love and kindness of Jesus. Maybe it’s a co-worker, a family member, or even a stranger you encounter today. How can you serve them with humility? Ask God to open your heart and give you the courage to love as Jesus loved.
