When you look, do you see?
The question should strike us immediately. “Of course I see David – to look and not see
doesn’t make sense.” However, in life
and leadership, oftentimes we look, and we fail to see. All day long this world tries to capture our
attention with image after image.
Marketers and advertisers are consistently trying to deflect our
attention to their product. We are
constantly looking around, but what do we see? Do we see? This question applied to people and
leadership is even more paramount.
When we look at people, do we see potential? In Scripture, we
see this picture portrayed very clearly.
Most of the disciples were unschooled, untrained, and unusable in the
eyes of the world. Yet, Christ saw in them potential to be used as
preachers, prophets, and leaders to change the course of history.
If we want to lead, we must SEE – see optimism and a hope
for the future, especially in the life of those we lead. As we look to a new year, I pray that I
begin seeing more.
