Workplace Minute: Respect by Seeing

A number  of years ago, I recorded “Workplace Minute” on behalf of CitySites for KTIS as an encouragement to Christian Entrepreneurs, Christian CEOs, Christian Business Owners and Christian Leaders.

This series is based on those broadcasts and I Peter 3: 15, “But have reverence for Christ for Christ in your hearts, and honor him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but do it with gentleness and respect.” I trust you find  the “Respect Series” encouraging.

Are you seeing with Jesus Eyes?

A friend tells me about a recent trip to India and how frightful and repulsive the streets of Calcutta are. They are overflowing with distressed, desperately poor and needy people. It isn’t until he put on his Jesus Eyes that his fear is replaced with confidence and compassion.

It sounds like some work situations that I’m in, brimming with anxious, lonely, desperately needy people.Faith in the workplace

What’s your work environment like? Where do you need Jesus Eyes?  Which work situations are daunting where you might ask God to help you see through Jesus Eyes? Who in your department is offensive and irritating to be around…..where you need Jesus Eyes?  Who’s incredible needy emotionally, perhaps even clingy, where you need Jesus Eyes?

God, help us to look at those around us with Your eyes that we would authentically represent you in our work places.

Marketplace Minister’s Question: If you were to see with Jesus Eyes, what might you see that’s different than what you normally see?

Marketplace Minister’s Lesson: Seeing with Jesus eyes means seeing others as people whom God loves and has compassion.

I would love your perspectives on my book manuscript, Letters to the King: The Journey of a Reluctant Christian Ambassador
