Don’t you just love those people who can immediately see a need and know how to help? I do! If you are one of those people, I am so jealous. I get to live life with a few of these gifted folks and I am always amazed at how perceptive they are to the needs that I so flippantly overlook.
It’s not that I don’t want to see, it’s just that I get so caught up in my everyday busy “normal” routine that I become complacent to the needs that surround me. I can do it in my home, in my work, or even in ministry. It’s like having narrow vision and missing the whole picture of what is going on around you. I want to remove the blinders to see the whole scene before me.
I truly do want to see. I want to resurrect a new awareness in this girls life and live in the moment. A way going forth of being aware of the people around me and how I can best help them. I want to see a need and fill it. Why is this so hard?
Do you struggle to see the moment at hand where true needs lie?
If your heart is leading, you are called. If you are called, others are waiting on you. Get the rest in a FREE eBook. bit.ly/IynKCB

I want for us to share ideas of how we can resurrect and cultivate this new habit of seeing a need so that we may ultimately go out and fill it.

I think it is one of those “Its the way God made me” moments. It can come so naturally for some and difficult for others. I’m like you, I’m certainly willing to help, it is discerning what needs to be done without being asked that is harder.
Now put me in my element of home and family and I DO know exactly what needs to be done.

I guess you are right part of it is about the unique way each of us are made. Wish I could naturally see more!
