God Doesn't Do a Background Check to Decide How He Can Use You

Hey there, fellow Believers! Have you ever felt like you're not good enough for God to use you? Maybe you've made mistakes or have a past you're not proud of. Well, I've got news for you: God doesn't operate like a hiring manager doing a background check. He sees potential where others see flaws. So, let's dive into some Bible verses and study notes that remind us of this amazing truth!

Seeing the World with Jesus Glasses: Embracing Your Unique Vision Through Faith




Embracing Your Unique Vision Through Faith: Understanding with the Eyes of Jesus

In the intricate tapestry of life, each individual carries a distinct vision, shaped by personal experiences, beliefs, and unique perspectives. It is a common human desire to be understood and accepted, but the reality is that not everyone will grasp the intricacies of our vision. In this journey of self-discovery, we often find solace in the notion that God didn't grant others our eyes. As believers, we are guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, our Savior, whose divine vision transcends human comprehension. This article delves into the profound wisdom behind the statement, exploring the challenges, insights, and personal growth that arise when we don't expect others to fully understand our vision, but instead, view it through the eyes of Jesus.

The Individual Lens:

Understanding the Uniqueness of Vision:

As followers of Christ, we recognize that each person is uniquely created in the image of God. Our faith teaches us that our perspective on life is shaped by our relationship with Jesus and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Just as Jesus walked the earth with a divine purpose, we too are called to see the world through the lens of love, compassion, and grace.

Navigating the Maze of Subjectivity:

Jesus often spoke in parables, using simple stories to convey profound truths. His approach acknowledges the inherent subjectivity of human perception while inviting us to see beyond surface-level differences. When we view our vision through the eyes of Jesus, we are reminded of the importance of humility and empathy in understanding others.

The Challenge of Misunderstanding:

The Frustration of Unmet Expectations:

Jesus faced numerous instances of misunderstanding during his ministry on earth. Despite his divine wisdom, many failed to grasp the depth of his teachings. As followers of Christ, we are called to emulate his patience and perseverance in the face of misunderstanding. Rather than seeking validation from others, we find comfort in knowing that Jesus sees and understands the intentions of our hearts.

Finding Peace in God's Understanding:

In times of confusion and doubt, we turn to Jesus as our ultimate source of comfort and guidance. His unconditional love reminds us that we are seen and understood, not by the world, but by our Heavenly Father. When we surrender our vision to God's will, we are met with a sense of peace that surpasses all understanding.

Embracing Divine Perspective:

Embodying the Love of Christ:

As ambassadors of Christ, our mission is to reflect his love and compassion to the world around us. By embracing our unique vision through the eyes of Jesus, we become vessels of grace and reconciliation in a divided world. Instead of seeking validation from others, we find fulfillment in serving God's kingdom with humility and integrity.

Trusting in God's Plan:

Ultimately, our vision is a reflection of God's divine purpose for our lives. While we may not always understand the twists and turns of our journey, we trust in the sovereignty of God to lead us according to his perfect will. Just as Jesus surrendered his life on the cross, we relinquish control and place our faith in the hands of our Savior.

In a world that often prioritizes conformity over individuality, we are called to embrace our unique vision with unwavering faith. By viewing our perspective through the eyes of Jesus, we find solace in knowing that we are seen and understood by our Heavenly Father. As we navigate the complexities of life, may we draw strength from the words of Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path," trusting in God's divine guidance every step of the way.

Comedian Rob Schneider Discovers Jesus, Forgiveness: "I Needed...to Be Home'

I am really amazed at how God speaks to His children.

One of my fave actors in Hollywood has now accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior.

He said, we have an amazing faith, or just say "religion" compared to others 

as instead of hating, killing each other, we are asked to LOVE ONE ANOTHER

and even LOVE OUR ENEMIES.

How cool is that?

I am not perfect. And yes, honestly, I can never love all my enemies.

But with Jesus by my side, He will fix my heart for Him.

So I can live like Him in this world.

Tough?

Let's see how it goes.


Comedian Rob Schneider is increasingly speaking about his faith, heralding the importance of forming a foundation in God and forgiving others. "Jesus only lets you stray so much," Schneider recently told CBN News of his decision to re-embrace the faith he once found as a teenager. "I think, at a certain point, He grabbed me again and hugged me." The "Saturday Night Live" alum, who stars in a new Bentkey cartoon called "Chip Chilla," went on to describe what he sees as an inherent beauty in Christianity — a faith he believes is predicated upon true goodness. "There are other religions out there that say, 'Well, kill your enemy; hate your enemy,'" Schneider said. "And we have a religion that says, 'Love your enemy, love thy neighbor as thyself ... love others.' What a beautiful way to go through life." The actor also reflected on the need to forgive. "If I am going to lead my life and be an example, as Christ compels us to do, then I have to do it," Schneider continued. "Even if it hurts, even if it stretches how I used to feel ... and, once you forgive, the beautiful thing about forgiveness is ... you end up feeling better." "The Animal" star's return to faith is notable, as he recalled being so devoted to Christianity as a teenager that he "would have dreams of Jesus Christ." Over time, though, he drifted. "I did — like many Christians do — stray," Schneider said. "But there was a continuing pull back, knowing where I needed to be and to be home." He continued, "And then [a] very, very strange confluence of things. I married a Catholic, and she was very patient with me, and she's been the greatest thing that's ever happened to me." This factor mixed with a project about the Shroud of Turin, among other happenings, started pushing Schneider to think deeper about his faith roots. In the end, he said he could no longer ignore it.
