Ps. 139 speaks of the intimate knowledge and the woven, merciful care God has given to each and every person. He has known us from before our conception and has a vision for our lives that penetrates eternity. This is our great God that we serve! He has a redemptive plan to draw all men to Himself and will be faithful to complete it entirely. If this is what our God is like, as His image-bearers, this must be our same vision. “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:11
We live out of the revelation of the nature of God we have seen. Thus to truly have godly love and value for others we must behold how great His love is for us. Jesus was never so distracted by the immaturity of His disciples, or their lack in being great men of God, that He no longer called them into who they were meant to be. We want those eyes like Jesus to see, think about, speak to and fight for destinies those around us like He does for us! From the unborn child, to our closest friends, to the most hardened sinner, we are called to exemplify the very nature of God we have received. God has created mankind to be a kingdom of worshippers and lovers of His name. We are given the charge to call one another forth according to this destiny in God. We get to plant seeds of hope and true redeeming love by the power of the Spirit in those around us. Let us ask God for eyes of redemptive faith to bring others into the great, hidden worth of their lives as God sees them.
