🌿 Seeing Others Through the Eyes of God — Especially in Their Darkest Season

By Ambassador Paulette K. Broach

It’s easy to love people when they’re strong, confident, and doing well.

But the true test of compassion — and Kingdom maturity — is how we see and treat others when they’re walking through their darkest seasons.

When pain, failure, or struggle clouds someone’s life, it can be tempting to view them through the lens of what they’ve done, where they’ve fallen short, or who they used to be. But God never stops seeing His children through the lens of who He created them to be.

The Eyes of God See Potential, Not Perfection

When God looks at us, He doesn’t just see our present circumstances — He sees our potential.

He sees the masterpiece He designed long before life’s challenges ever showed up.

In our weakness, He still sees worth.

In our mistakes, He still sees purpose.

In our pain, He still sees promise.

As Kingdom representatives, we’re called to do the same — to look beyond the surface and see others through the eyes of redemption and possibility.

Why It Matters

When someone is in a dark place, what they need most is not judgment or correction — it’s understanding.

Your words, your presence, and your grace can become a bridge that helps them find their way back to light.

When we choose to see people through God’s eyes, we become agents of healing rather than reminders of shame.

We call forth their potential instead of confirming their pain.

That’s Kingdom love in action — the kind that restores, uplifts, and redeems.

✨

A Higher Perspective

Ask yourself:

“How would God see this person if He were standing right in front of them?”

Chances are, He’d see someone worthy of another chance.

Someone capable of change.

Someone still loved, still chosen, still His.

When we adopt that perspective, it changes how we speak, how we lead, and how we love.

Because grace isn’t about ignoring what’s wrong — it’s about seeing who they truly are even when they can’t see it themselves.

💫

Final Reflection

Seeing others through the eyes of God doesn’t just transform them — it transforms us.

It refines our hearts, deepens our empathy, and aligns us with Heaven’s perspective.

The next time you encounter someone in their dark season, don’t turn away — look closer.

See them as God does: whole, loved, and full of purpose yet to be revealed.

Because sometimes, the greatest gift you can give someone is to see the light in them — even when they can’t see it themselves.
