Seeing the Unseen

This statement deals with more than just “seeing” God. What exactly is involved? Consider a little background.

We must consider where we have been. Consider the past year. What mistakes were made? What successes were enjoyed? Was God part of the equation?

We must also consider where we are right now. Are we where we need to be at this time? Will this place provide a basis for where we need to go? Is God part of the equation?

Now we can formulate plans on where to go from here. Seeing God’s part in our past and present allows us to see His hand in our future.

If God is not part of the equation, we do not have a clear vision!

The Invisible

To lead the most unlikely, we have to see the unseen, or as they are often described, the invisible. What is meant by the invisible?

The invisible are people we cannot or choose to not see. Why?

Perhaps it is the color of their skin, the type of clothes they wear, the home where they live (or lack thereof), the way they smell, of perhaps the lack of personal hygiene.

Maybe we do not want to see because we are afraid of the responsibility.

It is difficult to lead those who are invisible to us. Think about it!

Leading the Invisible…

How can we lead people who are unseen, or those often described as “the invisible”?

What makes them invisible? Perhaps their skin color? Clothes they wear? Home where they live (or lack thereof)? Their smell, or lack of personal hygiene?

Maybe we do not want to see because we’re afraid.

Maybe it’s because of preconceived ideas. After all, they made a choice, right? Why don’t they just get a job? 

Have we ever pulled up to an intersection where someone stands with a sign asking for help? Do we look at them? Do we look through them? Do we become judgmental?

It is difficult to lead those we make invisible.
