Seeing Others With God's Eyes

[@scatherinehester4612]

I just had a birthday...Seventy! WoW!! And I wanted to do something to make this decade special, to show my gratitude for being alive, and at such a beautiful, yet challenging time! I am going to do this 30 day challenge, with hope and prayer that it changes my life for better...for joy!

[@ryloken1919]

🎉 Happy Birthday! My mother is in the same decade. Filling your heart with Christ will surely make the following years that much more golden. God bless you sister.♡ We may be strangers online but we're family through the father. Eagerly awaiting his return and restoration. May your faith grow ever stronger.

[@wendie8290]

Happy Birthday. I'm abt 1/2 a decade be hind you sister.

[@stressweapons-rl9ym]

I'm turning 65 this month. I like your words. This is a beautiful and challenging phase of life. I appreciate your words. I hope to make my these years meaningful as well. God bless you! I hope you have a beautiful decade of loving.

I am currently Ward Mission leader in my ward. I will be sharing Admire, Ask, Thanks and Listen challenge today with our ward missionaries. Love it.

[@allisonbiere7894]

This is what I do. I stay open minded and I have found some pretty awesome and amazing people that I am lucky to call my friends. ❤️💕 non judgemental is the best way to be. It has brought me closer to my Heavenly Father

[@efrainguaillasgonzalez8050]

I feel that learning this ability to really understand others can make a tremendous difference, especially in missionary work!

[@michaelweirviolin]

I also want to develop the habit of helping people feel heard. I’ll try that this new semester of college. Thanks for the inspiration :)

[@crystalayers2933]

You seem like a kind young man. Caring. Curious. Full of smiles & light. Genuine. The world needs more people like you. Keep shining.

[@jlglover4592]

Way to go, Hollis. Your learning to see the divine nature in others is something that will serve you well for your entire life! We all could use some of the same vision, myself included.

[@clearstonewindows]

Agreed

[@davidwells9709]

This lifestyle is a pattern that leads to deep connection and meaningful relationships that are the most valuable part of life, much more important to the whole soul than any other achievement or earning money. Bravo Hollister!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences

[@blackhawkbushcraft]

Expressing admiration, thanks, and gratitude for others is something we need a lot more of! 👍 Excellent message! Thanks for sharing.

[@SodoMojo22]

Worthy endeavor and not easy to do. Thanks for sharing your insights...made me think about how I approach people and what I can do to break down barriers.

[@carpsa]

Thank you, Hollis. Great to see you thriving.

[@LisaLikesPhotographySanDiego]

Wow, YOU changed my attitude toward others today. I watched your video, and I feel my heart expanding and my mind is so much brighter - what a great idea you have. THANK YOU!!!

[@mikebell9166]

I found out recently that I am thought of as being gregarious in town, because I always ask the store clerks how their day is going...and listen to and respond in kind with follow up. We have some fun conversations, and some not so fun as well. I've offered comfort and counsel and cheer in these exchanges, and grown closer to them in the bargain. Your video is a good example for others to follow. Thanks for sharing!

[@FromAgonyToLight]

I really desire to do something like this, especially because of my calling in missionary work.

[@hennore]

Thanks Hollis for taking us through your journey of seeing others as God sees them. I’m inspired to do the same daily 🙏🏾

[@jennifervanslooten7602]

Thank you for sharing this challenge! I love that you felt more of God's love when you genuinely reach out to show love and interest in others. What a great way to create unity and be a peacemaker in your own community. Thanks for inspiring me and others!

[@bluedreams517]

You inspired me to think about how I want to grow and interact on my upcoming vacation. I've been thinking about just wanting and needing a break from life. But I realized I'm happiest when I'm learning, connecting, and appreciating the people and experiences around me.

[@sarabernpaintner4704]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful challenge! :) Seeing others the way God sees his children can be tricky for us at times, especially when we feel like we're too different from the person that we're trying to connect with. I've realized that it helpes if we give compliments, find common ground, really try to listen more than talking and also list the good parts about them as well. It is always a good thing to give everyone a chance before we decide that they're no good. We can miss out on lasting friendships if we judge people too fast and ignore them.

[@gmiranda01]

Thanks for sharing and be a good example.

[@taykratzer]

Good steps for genuine friendship

[@DL-xf3ur]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I saved your method to my phone, so I would have it for future interactions. I often feel desperate wanting to connect people and to make our interactions more than superficial. To know God's creations better is to know God better. And God loves you.

[@TreeLynnT]

Your smile is genuine and pure. Stay awesome brother.

[@plainjaneproud]

I’m very reserved and although I will chat with someone when I’m shopping etc…I never really try to get to know them. Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@Jenni-xc6cg]

Very inspirational! Thank you so much, Hollis!

[@hirschij4884]

That is such an awesome and inspiring story. I would love to try this!!! ❤️

[@connied6630]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful challenge and these 4 simple steps

[@MacieRivera]

I want to grow in my relationships with others, and help them feel seen. I love what he said about identifying the divine in ourselves and in others. We are all made in the image and likeness of God.

[@wendie8290]

We have more in common than we have that is different. Even those who reject God. If we try to understand why they rejected Him. And if they know that we love them unconditionally then maybe they will get to know him through knowing us. The goal is for THEM to ask us questions, maybe just maybe they will want to understand. 😊

[@SDU2023]

I am like this, but not usually with the aid of the Spirit. I'm going to try this. ATAL.

[@cjmadsen3343]

Hollis! First, awesome name - same name as my daughter. :) Second, wow! Thanks for sharing your witness of seeing others the way God sees them. He truly does see the good and beautiful in all of us!

[@TYGENT]

We see Our savior when we look at each other & do exactly this 🫨🤯WE ARE GODS WALKING TREASURES 🤯

[@DamonGarfield]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ashlyncrane8992]

God loves all of you so much ❤️

[@deluxetugboat18]

I love this so much ❤

[@averysmith]

What a smiley happy guy!

[@amberschwartz6316]

CJ!! We love you and your family, we are excited to see this!

[@helenjohnson7583]

Very sweet! Thanks for your efforts and sharing!

[@alittlepieceofearth]

This is the best series.

[@charlesjairus3338]

[@annarice6290]

Thank you for this

[@damarisrojas5404]

Gracias 👍🇨🇷🧓

[@mads7431]

That was an awesome adventure! Thank you for sharing Hollis! I feel more inspired to maybe do the same kind of thing, coming to know others and God :)

[@KBColeLong]

Great job!

[@loganpower4678]

Love this challenge!

[@Wildflowerr33]

“Thank, ask, listen”

[@RyanMercer]

☺

[@WituVerdadero]

Wow, really good. Enjoyed it 😊

[@IamTheReaper911]

🙏

[@Sunsaintsandwaves]

Seems like a great pattern for interactions!

[@karenlytton9711]

15.30pm great

[@shantel4960]

❤

[@chootienliang6423]

❤️👍👍💪💪👏

[@arditem]

💛✝️

[@haroldtakahashi8875]

💛...

[@TioMagic]

so the challenge is to admire something about them, asking them a personal open question, listening and thanking them for sharing or is there something missing/ got ir wrong?

[@isshia]

I'm to see how open minded your religion is. You don't judge the other religion as a misleading worship. You find holiness in each way of worship. I wanted to be in this kind of worship. I hope there's still a chance for me because lately I feel like I'm already becoming part of the world and misled

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Hi there, thanks for tuning in. What questions do you have? We'd be happy to answer your questions, or we encourage you to reach out to missionaries from the Church, who would be happy to answer your questions and teach you more. You can visit www.comeuntochrist.org/contact?cid=42001274 to request a video or voice call with missionaries. Take care!

[@zoommikerobinson3315]

That pattern might be good during a job interview (plus working for someone), since you're a new graduate traveling through the work world. 🤠🐂🐎🐱🇺🇸

[@rosebud71wilcox61]

I am currently bed-ridden and would love to know a way I could participate in this challenge when I rarely leave my home.

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Hi, thank you for your comment! We admire your willingness to participate in this faith challenge. If you are interested in connecting with people from all faiths and backgrounds in various ways, similar to Hollis, here are a few ideas you might consider: - Search for virtual opportunities to serve. You can find remote opportunities in the Just Serve website through this link: www.justserve.org/projects?displayView=list&volunteering=remote&location=84106&applyAdvancedFilters=true - Volunteer to virtually attend missionary discussions with investigators with missionaries in your area. If you would like missionaries in your area to reach out you can request a visit either in person or virtually here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/requests/missionary-visit - Participate in Temple and Family History work. You can contact your local leaders to find a specialist in your area to help you get started and answer any questions. If you do not know who your local leaders are you can connect with them through this link: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/requests/church/find-a-church We hope you find these ideas helpful. We know God will inspire and guide you to finding ways to help grow your faith as you connect with others. Let us know if you have any more questions!

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Well, New or Old Testament - Because if you only want to see others in God Jehovah's eyes, he basically wiped out anyone against Israel, including other Hebrews... So you might want to See other's with Yahshua's Eyes . . . Christ gave people a break and He didn't wipe out the whole Roman Empire for letting the Rabbi's Crucify him.

[@Michael-ob2jr]

Why don't you just "Submit to the Process of Becoming One with Christ"?
