Sin spotting, the noticing of how things are not as they could be or the ways they are broken, has some value. However, it is never the whole story. Each person embodies the image of God, each person reflects the glory of God. It is there for the noticing. If you cannot see the glory that another brings to a conversation you are missing an important part of the moment.
This lens can also be used when you view yourself. You bring the glory of God to others. After all, is this not what God asks of us? To be God's ambassadors to the world?
