Title: See with the Eyes of Love
R. I realize more and more my self-centeredness. I realize how I need to love all God's creatures. I cannot look at one person and decide I do not like him or think I am better than him. If I am to love and be like Christ, I must look at all my brothers as God's creatures that He loves. I must see with the eyes of love, every man. I cannot look critically at anyone, I must see them with the eyes of love.
God loves every man. God, the Father, created them. God the Son died for them. God the Holy Spirit loves and sanctifies them. I must see every creature as so dear to God.
I must see with the eyes of love. This takes grace. I must pray for the grace to share more deeply in His life. I must be open to grace He gives me to love Him and my brothers.
If He pours out His graces on me to love my brothers, but I continue to look on them with unloving eyes, then I am not cooperating with the grace He is giving me.
I need to pray to the Spirit to open my mind and my heart to see. I need to see. I must see more and more with the eyes of God. I must see all men with the eyes of love.http://www.sofc.org/
