Looking Beyond What Others Sees

You may be one of those persons who are not treated as someone special, who is the ugly duckling of the family, the weak link of the company or the underdog in your school and as a result you are often left feeling dejected, depressed and even suicidal. You often asked why me, with tear filled eyes and an aching heart.  

Well, I think it’s time you look beyond what others see in you and look at and hold on to what God sees in you. Every time you take up the Bible to read, bear in mind that it is a letter from God to you. Every promise that lies there in belongs to you. Every assurance, every blessing is a message saying I love you; you are special in my sight.

Looking beyond what others sees takes courage and believing in what God sees in you takes faith. You are not worthless, incompetent, ugly or good for nothing; you are only a king been prepared by shepherd duties, Listen to what God said to Samuel when he was looking in the same manner in which your families, school mates, co-workers etc are looked upon based on their external physique: “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

God sees you as the apple of His eyes (Zec 2:8), fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14), peculiar (1 Peter 2:9) and a treasure worth dying for (John 3:16). If the King of the universe sees you in this light, how then should you see yourself? Shouldn’t you stop seeing yourself as others see you and see you for who God want you to be?

God bless you.
