Seeing With the Eyes of Grace

Listen to the Audio

God sees us with the eyes of grace, through what Jesus did. To see with the eyes of grace takes being present. For example, God remembers our sins no more. He is not seeing us in the view of the past but in the present. 

Pentecost is tomorrow and it is the midpoint of the year on God's calendar. Whenever I think of the midpoint I see it as a reminder to be more present. Presence is one of the biggest keys to seeing grace flow in our lives. To see with the eyes of grace means being more present, letting go of the past, and seeing other people in the present moment not holding anything from the past against them. We must also give ourselves this same grace. 

There is a phrase that appears over and over in the Bible which is, " Let me find grace in your eyes." To find grace in someones eyes means that they are with you and for you. That they want to help you and bless you. Because of Jesus we have grace in God's eyes. 

We must receive that we have grace in God's eyes, see ourselves with the eyes of grace, and see others through the eyes of grace.
