Check your perspective

We sometimes see things in certain ways, when in reality it could be totally different.

It could be said that sometimes we have short vision, that we can be short sighted looking at certain things. This could be that we are in a certain mindset that causes us not to see the truth or it could be that we just aren't aware.

For me an example that sticks out in the world today is the meaning of life, everybody sees this totally differently. It could be said that so many people just deal with the 'now' of life. People can be caught up in what they want to do in life, what they think is good for them, they just do what they want as they don't seek for a deeper meaning as to what is actually going on in this world. They waste no thoughts on actually considering that this life might not actually be about them.

Some people palm this question off as they like what they have going at this moment in time and don't want to change it or listen to anything else. In other words they are short sighted, they need to check their perspective. Being short sighted is limiting because it doesn't let us see things that are more than a short glance away. It's so easy to get caught in what we do that we forget what is far away, what is approaching us.

Plain and simply for many people death is coming, that they are wasting themselves into oblivion, they are so caught up in who they are, what they do that they are totally unaware of a father God that loves them, who is running to them because they are so short sighted and caught up in themselves. They need to change their perspective.

Because for me, I was blind to the point to where I only looked at myself and was caught up in me unaware of the harsh reality that was approaching me, But God. When God comes in everything is changed, everything is opened up, the short sight is restored to full 20 20 vision, total clarity. Suddenly I realised that this life, the reason we live is far superior to me, that in fact its not about me in the slightest. When God comes in he lets us see the far off, he lets us see where were going, he lets us see the truth, the meaning as to whats going on in this world. That not only does he show us, but it says in his word that he directs the steps we take. Meaning that he steers us away from the death the world throws at us and into the life he has for us!

you see changing your perspective changes everything.
