My request

This is my request for the world: see the nations with the eyes of God and not the eyes of the world! I cannot even count the times that people have come to me saying that "africa must be to sad, all that poverty and AIDs." Even people who have been here before can only see the mud huts and homes and towns that don't match up to the first world version of life. STOP! America is not the norm! I want you to see the world through God's eyes. That there is no lack in the lives of those who believe in Christ Jesus. In the senses, we see mud homes, lack of food, orphans and widows from AIDs.... but that is not what God sees. That is not His view of His children and neither should it be ours. When you look at these people, you can see Jesus shining back at you. It's such a beautiful sight that it brings tears to your eyes. Every individual life is worth so much to God- Jesus died for all of us, each individual person! Do not look at this nation, called Africa, with pity in your hearts. Do not look at this land and say "it's a shame it's so uncivilized." You are not seeing the heart of this continent... or of any third world land. The hope that covers this world is the blood of Jesus Christ! See the world through the eyes of Jesus Christ!!!
