I read something yesterday that I thought was worth sharing with you. It was in my “Jesus Always” devotion. Remember, this devotion is written like Jesus is speaking directly to you. It said, I want you to learn to see yourself and others through “grace-vision.” Looking through eyes of grace, you can focus more on what is good and right than on what is bad and wrong.
When we see others—and ourselves—through the lens of grace, we shift our focus. Instead of zeroing in on flaws, failures, and frustrations, we begin to notice progress, beauty, and God’s hand at work. We start to believe the best, not because people are perfect, but because grace reminds us that God is not finished with any of us yet.
It’s easy to dwell on what’s wrong. The world is loud with criticism, and our own hearts can be harsh. But grace quiets that noise. It redirects our attention from judgment to hope, from negativity to faith.
When you choose to look through eyes of grace, you live more like Christ. Jesus saw the woman at the well not as a moral failure, but as someone thirsty for truth. He saw Zacchaeus not as a corrupt man, but as someone ready to change. And He sees you—not as your worst moment, but as His child.
Grace doesn’t ignore sin or pretend problems don’t exist. It simply chooses to see beyond them.
Put your “grace-vision’ glasses on and Shine, Shine, Shine!
