Keep Your Eyes On Jesus
Love has been perfected among us in. Scripture records that; "...as He is, so are we in this present world" (1 John 4:17).

"Look (away) unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith"
— (Hebrews 12:2a, paraphrased).
So do not focus on your vulnerability or the lack in your life and get discouraged. Ask yourself: Is Jesus abandoned, forgotten, sick and poor today? No, He is at the right hand of the Father, full of life, peace, joy and favor. All of heaven’s resources are at His disposal. He is greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved by the Father today, and so are you!
To be Jesus-occupied like this is to see as God sees. And when you see as God sees, you will also see the grace and supply of the Lord swallow up every lack in your life!

What you said isn't true. God loves us. God has promised to provide for us. We don't have to see as God sees in order for that to happen. It would be like you have a child and you refuse to provide for that child unless it sees you in a certain way. No, if you have a child you love that child. You provide for that child even if it's too young to appreciate you.
A child may not know what his father has in store for him until he comes to full maturity to seeing what how much his father is interested in his welfare. The post did not mention the Father did not provide for us, but that we should see that God has provided all we will ever need.
Do you have you want? Or, have you gotten all God provided for you? Do you know what He has provided? And, have you appropriated it?
Have you been in a position where you feel the cares of this present world choking you? Or, do you know a believer who's having a broken heart? Or, one who is about committing suicide?
We do not jump into conclusion just because we feel we have intellects. But that, with the intellects we have, are suppose to understand whatever we claim to have read before concluding or commenting on a subject matter.
I am sorry if this may sound offensive but, please take a break.
On God part, He has provided. If you're poor and wretched, it is your fault, not His. If you do not know what God has provided in Christ, you're bound for wretchedness. Without the knowledge of this provision of God, appropriating His provisions is impossible.
Thank you.
If God is to deal with man, He does so by dealing with Christ as man has been placed on His inside (1 Cor. 1:30). He does not see our righteousness but Christ's righteousness. This is the same reason we were made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Cor. 5:21).
When God looks at us, He sees us in Christ. And, it is in that position He deals with us.
We on our part are expected to fix our eyes on this same Christ, whose image we must all conform to (2 Cor. 3:18, Rom. 8:29, Heb 12:2). It is in this act our receptacles are fixed to seeing the provisions of God.
