Something is always trying to keep us broken, small, helpless and without hope. All the while, we live in a world that seems to be well orchestrated to keep people from shooting upward and going forward. This concept is called gravity. It is the idea that is disguised to make you think that a height meant for you cannot be attained because there are limiting forces all around.

“We are in the world, but not of it.” “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Can you remember these truths? Bet you can. These truths should mean that we are not allowing the world around us to trick us into believing that we share the same illnesses, misfortunes, failures and disadvantages. It should mean that we are refusing to buy the narrative that we all will live life from a weak and broken perspective?

If we are in the world but not of it, it means that we do not share in the maladies of this world. So When They See Us, they see us bringing the realities of our promises into the world that we live in. When they see us, they see us Defy Gravity.

Lifesavers, that is who we are. That is the word that best describes what our assignment is. Think about a time when you were in a desperate situation, the days were closing in on you and you had no idea how to get out of the rut. Days before your deadline, someone came to the rescue with just the right solution you had been hoping to find all along. I bet you’d call their feet beautiful. You’d say “your coming is blessed.”

“How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings.” These are the words used in scripture to describe the arrival of anyone that comes carrying good news! So “When They See Us”, they see us with feet that are described as beautiful. “Beauty Feet” is a reflection of the expectation that greets the announcement of our presence. When we arrive, we come with the assurance of the preciousness of what Jesus has done for us. We cannot be too sophisticated to spread beauty around.

When they see us, they see us bearing the CAUSE of Christ

We all feel pressured and we all feel tempted to use our words to describe our pressures, worries and anxieties. It is an understandable thing to do. No one will blame you for using your words to describe your situation as sometimes speaking out is necessary for healing. However, there is a bait being served to get you to live in that space continually. Do not take it.

As long as you live, you will feel the pull to speak words in sync with what you feel and sometimes, you do not feel up to the word, especially when it seems to have delayed in coming into fruition. There is a tendency that we all have to throw in the towel and let our dreams fade. That’s a bait, do not take it.

Consider the words that you speak as building blocks. How important is it for you to speak the right words reflecting your promise and not your defeat? You will be tempted to go with the flow of the happenings in your life that do not  reflect the promise of God, but know that these words will be established to you. Baits are being served to you, to get you to conform, do not take it.

Your individual excitement aids the spread of God's love 

God wants us to enjoy His love and distribute His love to others.
