Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
With a new look
​When God Looks at You
Many people call themselves Christians because they have called Jesus Lord. Then, what do they do? Well, many of them read their Bible (selectively, according to denominational teaching), go to their denominational church, maybe tell someone about Jesus, and think they are all right with God. A few (and I wish this wasn’t so) don’t do anything. A few read the Bible—lead by the Spirit—to learn more about God, they tithe the true tithe, and they give to support the ministries all over the world. And a few of them do what they read that Jesus did.
“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father,” (John 14:12 New Living Translation).
I have actually had the greatest compliment ever, it was said to me; a brother said to me, “When I look at you I see Jesus.” Boy that made my smile, not just an ear to ear smile but a nose to nose smile. “You’ve only got one nose.” I know; get my point.
​
That leads me too this thought and question: When God looks at you who or what does He see? To be honest; I don’t know. I would hope that when He looks at me He sees His Son Jesus in entirety. Oh, I know the canned line that when God looks at all of us who have made Jesus Lord He sees Jesus. But, is that true?
To put it in Biblical terms,
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves,” (Matthew 7:15 New International Version).
When God, the One who looks on the heart, looks at you does He see a sheep or a wolf? False prophets are not the only wolves in sheep’s clothing. Typically, wolves are territorial, they won’t share (at least with others outside their immediate family), and they take without asking. How many ‘Christians’ do you know that fit that bill? Don’t answer. Or,
“Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goat,” (Matthew 25:32 English Standard Version).
So, when God looks at you will He see a sheep or a goat? Goats get into things they have no business getting into, they don’t share (at least with others outside their immediate family), and they are quick to ram something (judge) (billy goats are) and they will definitely say, “You’re not allowed to judge me.” You will have to ask God about the sheep, there are many reasons but they are His reasons.

Many will be deceived by their own thoughts lead by denominational teaching. That’s why one of the main things that I ask is that you think, think long and long again.
