A Different Perspective

Perspective is so important.  Sweet Baby was explaining one of her games to me.  She proudly proclaimed, “I have $322 in this game.  I’m rich!”  For most of us, having a net worth of $322 would be distressing.  That would not cover rent or all our utilities.  A family of four would certainly find themselves in a precarious situation if that was all they had.  But in Sweet Baby’s eyes, that money is astounding.

It’s all about perspective.  My perspective has certainly been a little off.  I am guilty of having my sights focused on the wrong things.  I have heard it said many times, from many sources, that we have to recognize that God is bigger than our problems.  When I focus on my issues, the strength and power of God get placed in my peripheral vision.  I always know that He is there, but I have pushed Him to the edges of my sight.

Let’s shift our perspective.  We are always focusing on something.  I think that we need to be more mindful to keep our focus on God.  He created us.  He will sustain us.  I am giving myself grace as I practice this focus on a daily basis.  Bit by bit.  I did not make it this far into dysfunction overnight.  My journey to a healthier place will take time, but I am glad that I have started to make the trek.  May your day be full of sweet moments that challenge your field of focus.  #wepreach
