Practice Seeing

What do we see when we look colleague, loved one, stranger in the eye?


Christians stand on the belief that the "other" reveals Christ. If you're reading this blog, likely you know this belief well. But for most of us, how intentional our vision must be to truly see Christ in others! God knows that for most of us this vision doesn't come easily.


And yet.


And yet, how possible it is! Begin now, this day, in your next encounter. No goosebumps need be expected in the experience.  You don't have to well up with emotion. You don't even have to really like the person. Simply affirm--quietly, with trust--that God is being made known to you in this encounter.


Do this once a day for the next week, two weeks, and watch how the practice expands to include more and more persons with your new vision.


With a little bit of desire, with attention and with fidelity to the practice, notice your vision transform in the ways you view the whole wide world.
