If we never see anyone else, we unconsciously build a wall around ourselves and keep doing what human beings do best–think about ourselves.</blockquote> Yeah...and sadly that's pretty much the norm for most of us. Oh we "see" people all the time around us. We just don't pay them much attention. We don't really NOTICE them, pondering their life for a moment. We're way too occupied with our own agendas and schedules and things to do. I am, anyway. And I'm REALLY good at thinking about myself! April,

My dad also trained me to be observant too. I can definitely relate to the, "focusing to much on your self" problem. Being a Christ follower and the sometimes "self" trouble can be difficult, but He's working on me. Thank you for the good in site though! WOw, it sure was reassuring to read this.

I've also been struck by what Jesus noticed. Maybe it was that he had some special divine intuition we have but the passage about Zaccheus doesn't say that, so I'd like to hope we can notice people like Jesus noticed them.
