BOA #51 - People Eyes - the Heart of Encouragement! - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Pastor Chuck Miller taught that "people eyes" are the God given capacity of being aware of other people and their needs and focusing on them. People eyes are the eyes of Jesus for people.

It is so easy to be "people blind" and to be unaware of others around you.The comfort of being "inside" some group or fellowship or circle of friendship lulls us into being blind to those who are “outside.” This is not deliberate exclusion. We just do not see them.  

We may be friendly to them, saying, "Hi, how are you? What's happening?" yet, through people blindness, we fail to practice hospitality or respond to their needs.

When you are with other people, at home, work, church, community, whether physically together or together online, ask Jesus Christ to give you his eyes for people – people eyes – to see people as he sees them, with love.
