heavenly eyes.

recently i read in matthew 24 as it talks of the end of time. matthew 24:48 "but suppose that a servant is wicked and says to himself, 'my Master is staying away a long time,' and then he begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. the Master will return on an unexpected day and he will cut him to pieces."we must be on constant guard of what is to come. our eyes should be focused on eternal and heavenly things, not temporary and earthly things.
what a love for the world that our culture has. as i read this verse, my heart broke for my friends and for all those around me that do not have heavenly eyes. they have forgotten their purpose and no longer have the eternal perspective that should rule their hearts and lives. this is a reminder to each of us who call ourselves Christ followers. we say so many times, oh my Master will not be back for a long time, i will just live it up right now and get my life back together later. we lose focus on the prize that is Jesus Christ!
1 john 2:15 "don't love the world or anything in the world. if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. for everything in the world comes not from the Father, but from the world. the world and its desires pass away, but the Word of the Lord lives forever."
Father-give us heavenly eyes to see this world the way you see it.
