At last... what does it mean to have good eyes?
We live life thinking badly of others, seeing flaws in everyone, not being able to trust anyone... now when you come to church you find out that in order to become a virtuous woman you need to have good eyes... now what?
Well... On top of praying you need to change your thoughts and actions... it all depends on that... if you see a situation and decide to look at the good side, you will have good eyes.
This is how it works: first you "SEE" then come the "BAD" eyes, then you react with "GOOD" eyes... below are some examples...
SEE - She's very well dressed
BAD - She's stuck up, she wants to call attention
GOOD - She took some time getting ready and she looks really pretty
——————————————————————
SEE - She's very messy
BAD - She's dyslexic
GOOD - She didn't have time to get ready today, she must've worked a lot
——————————————————————
SEE - She's speaks seriously
BAD - She unsympathetic
GOOD - She's reserved and must be concentrating on something
——————————————————————
SEE - She didn't say hi
BAD - She's snobby
GOOD - She might have not seen or remembered me
——————————————————————
SEE - She is speaking with a group (being the center of attention)
BAD - She thinks she's all that
GOOD - She's bold and has the spirit of a leader
——————————————————————
SEE - She is not leading just helping
BAD - She's a softy
GOOD - She's a servant, she does her best no matter what it is
——————————————————————
You see... those are a few examples... you can continue this list day by day... when a situation or something you hear brings bad thoughts, beat them with good eyes.
Strive and ask God to help you and you will see a big change!

ReplyDeleteThough we are always told to do this but its like we forget these simple thing. Good eyes is more than what we think but it's how we see situations in our head...thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteGood eyes is something that can become bad very easily its about putting your self in that other persons position and understanding that no one is perfect and there is a reason for everything.
ReplyDeleteI think that Bad eyes are the beginning of a very hard fall, sometimes we dont even realise that we are having bad eyes until it's too late or until we notice that we cant stand that person. So the best thing to do to over bad eyes is with good inorder to keep our inside clean. Because if our eyes, which are the windows to our soul is bad then our whole body is bad.
