Look for the gold - Ann Sneddon

God has been highlighting this verse to me of late ...

Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye?

Matthew 7:3 AMP

(This verse is even better in the Message version)

Jez encouraged us recently to look for the gold in each other, the treasures God has placed in all of us. We all have flaws and failures as we are not yet fully matured in Christ.

All of us have gifts and treasures given by God. They are all different and all can be used by him. One might be anointed in worship but hopeless in hospitality. Another gifted in sharing the good news but doesn't has the same joy serving in another area. All I know is when someone is serving in the area they should be, God really works through them. It's like they have such an ease and a joy serving in this area. Everyone is blessed by them serving.

Don't look at the faults in our brothers and sisters. Seek out the gold, the treasure and fan into flame the gifts inside us all.

I encourage us this week to see the gifting in someone and tell that person how awesome they are. Why they bless you so much and why by them serving they are extending God's kingdom.

Let's always see the gold, see the potential and look at others the way God sees them.

Be very blessed
