In the finale of the Love in Action series, we shift our focus from how we see people to how God sees us. Recapping powerful moments from previous weeks—like Pauline’s complicated journey to faith and Meagan’s prison ministry—the message dives deep into the theology of being "Chosen." Exploring Ephesians 1 and 1 Peter 1, we discover that God had a blueprint for our lives before the world was even created. He didn't just stumble upon us; He predestined us for relationship with Him.

Kick off "Radical Christmas: Love in Action" by exploring the shift from superficial "gaze" (looking) to profound seeing that sparks compassion. Personal tales—like a timely hamper amid burnout or elevator dad panic—show how small acts (texts, meals) deeply impact because they truly see needs. Critique modern "professional looking" via scrolling/judgment/bias (choir miss story), quoting Christine Caine: "You can't unsee." Seeing costs but echoes God's Christmas act: Sending Jesus to our mess (Jn 3:16). Practical: Hampers/vouchers say "I see you"; kids' market disciples generosity. Challenge: Offer what's in hand—small multiplies like boy's lunch. Not seasonal—lifestyle love defies loneliness/anxiety. Prayer invites surrender, seeing Jesus' gaze. Beyond gaze: Acts change everything, revealing hope.
