"...so we keep looking at people through the eyes of hope..."
We often pass judgments on people, consciously or subconsciously. And I must confess that I am one of the culprits who do that often. A thought like "This guy, cannot make it one..." is just one of the conclusion I will come to based on my assessment of that person, especially within the ministry. As a result, I get myself frustrated and angry over what the other person did or did not do. No doubt certain issues are important to address, but I guess the problem with those judgments is when I only choose to focus on the weaknesses of that person, rather than take time to consider their strengths. That clouds the way I relate with that person. And that is not good. As a leader, I'll need to look further, beyond their short-comings, if I truly desire to see them grow as a person.
So rather than pull my hair (which is not a lot left liao...) over their weaknesses, may I learn to look at people with eyes of hope, even though it may seem all dark and gloomy at times, because I believe God can work miracles in the lives of people.
