through His eyes..

i have been thinking a lot lately. a lot about myself and what i can do better to feel the spirit each day in my life. i feel so stuck in a rut lately-emotionless. i know there are things i can improve on (this is no news flash), but life gets crazy and often times i lose sight of what matters most. lately i have thought about our Heavenly Father and how He sees people--what they mean to Him, how beautiful they are to Him, and their great worth.

as i have grown up in the church i felt like a very nonjudgmental person. i am supportive of those who have fallen short of expectations, done something "wrong," or for those who are just "lost" with nowhere to go. but i have come to realize that i am actually a very judgmental person. i hate to admit it, but it is something that i try to work on every single day. it doesn't just come easy. it's EVERY SINGLE thought i have about EVERY SINGLE person i come in contact with. i feel as though others judge me-my appearance, personality, everything. whether i "should be eating this," "wearing that," etc. i have come to the realization that although i am very judgmental of people, i am very nonjudgmental about the sins they have been involved in because frankly, i have been there. i know i am not perfect. but i can strive each day to have {perfect moments}.

this week i have tried really hard to see those around me through His eyes. i have tried to see their worth, value, talents, and look past their appearances. it has really helped me to realize the importance of human beings on this earth. i have come to remember that even the murderers, thieves, liars, and people like me all sustained Christ. we chose His plan. we have all come down here to learn. and so, i ask this..what would the world be like if we could all just see through His eyes?
