Pensamento:

Vamos pedir para Deus nos ajudar a enxergar as pessoas através dos olhos de Jesus, a fim de podermos vê-los como pessoas em quem a obra de Deus precisa ser realizada. Qual é essa obra de Deus? Bem, Jesus respondeu essa pergunta assim: crer naquele que ele enviou.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Let's ask God to help us view people through the eyes of Jesus so that we will see them as someone in whom the work of God needs to be displayed. When Jesus and his followers approached a man who was blind from birth, the disciples assumed that this misfortune had happened because someone had sinned. Jesus saw their labeling of the man as dehumanizing to the man and a dismissal of his value as a person because they thought he had sinned or his parents had. So, Jesus taught them, and if we pay attention, he teaches us to see a person's hurt as our opportunity and responsibility to bring God's grace to someone in need. So, what is this work of God we are to help display in people's lives? Jesus had answered that question earlier in his ministry: "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent" (John 6:28-29) — Jesus!

Oração:

Pai, por favor, ajude-me a enxergar as pessoas ao meu redor como Jesus as vê. Quero ver a sua obra realizada nas vidas delas. Então, por favor, dê-me paciência para com quem me trata com indelicadeza, carinho para com quem está sofrendo, e coragem para com os que estão prontos a ouvir as Boas Novas de Jesus. No nome de Jesus Cristo eu oro. Amém. || Não perca a imagem especial de hoje! http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_joao9_3.html

My Prayer...

Father, please help me see the people around me as Jesus does. I want to ensure that your work is done in their lives. Please give me patience with rude people, tenderness with hurting people, and boldness with those who are ready to hear the Good News of Jesus. Use me to help others display your work in their lives! In the name of Christ Jesus, I pray. Amen.
