What do you see!
Jacob looked at Joseph and saw a good son!
The ten brothers looked at Joseph and saw a useless dreamer!
The travellers looking at Joseph saw a slave!!
Potiphar looking at Joseph saw a dedicated,loyal servant!!
Potiphar's wife saw in Joseph a potential boyfriend!
The prison warden /officers saw in Joseph a prisoner! So so wrong were all of them
!God saw in Joseph a go getter,an administrator,a manager,a leader ,an excellent ambassador and a Prime Minister of Egypt in waiting!!
Don't be discouraged by what people see in you!! Be encouraged by what God sees in you!! Never underrate anyone,don't underestimate others because you never know what the Lord has deposited in that person. Your maid may be a Chief Executive Officer in waiting for a company which may employ your child in future. Your gardener may be a president,ambassador,governor in waiting. (Remember David got the anointing of becoming a King while he was a simple boy herding sheep.
Esther was just an orphaned girl yet she was a Queen in waiting).
The people in the community where jesus grew up looked at jesus with familiarity even when they saw all he was doing
Mathew 13:55
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? Familiarity makes you not see that which God is preparing.you still see men as trees.a form of vision but short sighted
