Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
Later, as Jesus left the town, He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow Me and be My disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.—Luke 5:27–28 (NLT)
Jesus saw something in people that others overlooked. He knew no one was beyond redemption. Consider this verse as an invitation to see others as Christ sees them, with their full potential. Avoid judging by their history or appearance, instead look to their heart.
Heavenly Father, Transformer of Lives, renew my vision so that I may see others as You see them.
