Love sees past the present into potential

Love sees past the present into potential. Love has this amazing ability to see someone for what they could be instead of only what they currently are. I am so thankful God loves me this way.


This past Sunday we asked the question, "How did we love this way in our daily lives." I believe the secret sauce is found in Luke 19:10--For the Son of Man came to seek & save those who are lost. Because He had a singular mission and focus. He was able to see opportunities for miracles everywhere. He was able to see what people could become because that was His mission. 


Because Jesus lived missionally he always SAW things that most people missed. Look at how many times it said, "Jesus Saw." When you read this phrase it's normally followed by a miracle. 


Matthew 4:18--As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers...


Matthew 4:21--Going on form there he saw two brothers...


Matthew 5:1--Now when he saw the crowds...


Matthew 8:18--When Jesus saw the crowd around him...


Matthew 9:2--When Jesus saw their faith...


Matthew 9:9--As Jesus went form there he saw a man...


Matthew 9:22--Jesus turned and saw her...


Matthew 9:36--When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them...


Because Jesus knew his mission and was focused, he was able to see what others didn't. 


What would happen if we embraced Jesus' mission for our lives? What would happen if we lived our entire lives for His glory and His cause? 


I wonder what things we would be able to see?

Love sees past the present into potential!
