Leave A Mark - Jesus Sees What Others Can't

Several years ago I ran across an example of the truth that man judges from what he can see but Jesus evaluates from what can be.  The principle is so powerful in His selection of His disciples.  It is a good thing that He didn't allow a company to determine His disciples:

Dear Sir,
Thank you for submitting the resumes of the 12 men you have picked for managerial positions in your new organization. All of them have now taken a battery of tests and we have run them through our computers. It is the staff's opinion that most of your nominees are lacking in background, educational and vocational aptitude for the type of enterprise you are undertaking. They do not have the team concept. We would suggest that you continue your search for persons with experience and proven capability.

Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper. Andrew has no leadership skills at all. The 2 brothers, James and John, place personal interest above company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning attitude that would tend to undermine morale. We feel that it is our duty to inform you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau. James and Thaddeus have radical leanings and registered high manic-depressive scores. Only one of the candidates shows great potential. He is a man of ability and resourcefulness who meets people well and has a keen business mind. He has contacts in high places and is highly motivated, ambitious and responsible. We recommend Judas Iscariot as your controller and right-hand man. We wish you every success in your new venture.

Sincerely yours,
Jordan Management Consultants
Jerusalem, Judea 

Today He sees you where you are for who you are but most importantly for what you can become.
