See Who Could Be

When Israelis looked at Matthew, they saw a traitor, who was destroying the prosperity of his countrymen, and empowering their enemies to use their resources to abuse them.

When Jesus looked at Matthew, at the time he was guilty of the charges of his fellow citizens, He saw one who would record His words, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible ®©)

One reason He saw this in Matthew was because He wanted you to be able to read those words.

Ask Him what He sees in you that you don’t yet see. Then lay your life down to pursue the real-ization of that vision.

Ask Him what He sees in someone you are struggling to love or serve. Then do what He instructs you to do to co-operate with Him to see it become real.
