Perspective

Each one of us look through our own eyes of perception.  We see things with different views.  Often it is hard to understand some things because of this. 

That is why we must pray and learn to look through the eyes of Christ.  To see things as he sees.  View things as he views them.  Our thoughts and opinions can be narrow or shallow but Christ thoughts are deep and broad.  He sees the whole picture.  The before and the after. 

Many see rain as gloomy, sad, dreary,  But if you have been in a drought, then you view it as a blessing.  You want to dance in it and jump for joy.  When you can get passed the inconvenience of an umbrella, rain coat, bad hair day, then you can see that the earth needs watering, the water levels need to rise.  There will always be things that we find uncomfortable but when we can look passed ourselves and see the greater need, we can share in the joy of what is taking place.

I encourage you today to not only view things through your eyes but through others, and through Christ.
