"Give me your eyes for just one second.Give me your eyes so I can see everything that i keep missing.Give me your love for humanity. Give me your arms for the brokenhearted the ones that are far beyond my reach?
Give me your heart for the one's forgotten. Give me your eyes so I can see."- Give Me Your Eyes Brandon

I have been to a place where I observed various personalities. An abundance of different influences, which can be a good thing and a bad thing because I am easily influenced. It was a battle of the thoughts all day long. I had to take captive anything and everything that would mar my thought process. I had to rid myself any type of judgement. I had to realize that I must humble myself. I needed to get in the mode of humility. Humility–noun the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc. I had to remind myself not to see the saw dust in the eye of someone else before even realizing the log in my eye. (Matthew 7:3) I knew that I was no better than the people surrounding me. At the most I was the same, I could be the same.
So I will pray each day to see every single person that walks into my life through God's eyes. That way I will love them for whoever they are and whatever they do. If they wrong me I will forgive them. If I wrong them I will search for forgiveness and strive to make things right. I do not have the right to judge, so I will put an end to any negative thought. If there is a situation where the influence does not agree with what I believe, I hope to be the greater influence not to fight it but to flee.
"3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.6 Though he was God,[a] he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b]; he took the humble position of a slave[c] and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form,[d] 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
