It's All About Perspective

Wow, I always seem to find myself so behind on blogging but I suppose that is ok!

It got dark and I now see the rain drops falling. I'm one of those rainy day lovers! Granted if you choose to be sad with the clouds I can see why it wouldn't be your love but let's just change the perspective-that's what God has been teaching me a lot lately and hopefully I am finally starting to get the message! My daddy often reminds me of this too (side note praise the Lord for sweet, caring, godly daddies!)

So it's cloudy and not cheery. Well make a fire to snuggle with someone and enjoy a book or a movie!

So I finally google it, to no avail and decide to search backward through all mail-second page from the back and I found it. The fact that it bothered me so much reminds me of how God searches for one lost sheep. How thrilled He is in one lost soul's salvation and how he desperately longs for people to come to salvation.

Your heart continues to ache. Well what did you learn?

Perspective.

You don't want to have anymore lessons. If you don't have lessons how will you be the best you God intended you to be?

Yeah. That word: Perspective.

The lessons hurt. Now you know how others feel. You can walk with them, crying, and offering hope and wisdom.

Perspective.

The fire hurts as the gold is refined. Once it cools down, it's a rare gem. (As my brother often quotes, "Real gold fears no fire.")

Do you have the right perspective?

This is my new favorite song and prayer! It puts things in perspective:
