I see Jesus, or at least try to see Him. No, I’m not some wacko. As part of my New Year’s resolution to look past the “outside” of people, I need to get past the “outside” somehow. My way to do that involves trying to see Jesus in each person, regardless of who they are. Easy? No way! But so necessary.
The hardest thing to comprehend is that God loves each one of us equally and unconditionally. There is no variation. God the Father sent his only Son to die for each one of us and for His Spirit to live in each one of us. So, Jesus has to be there if we just look. At each one of us, in each one of us.
I know this isn’t easy to do. But I know I can’t get past the “outside” of people until I see Jesus in them and look at their spirit.
This is my resolution, at least my top resolution. We’ll see how it works.
Here is to a blessed, healthy, and prosperous New Year ahead!
