Recently I got the chance to visit Dubai. While at the top of Burj Khalifa it was amazing to see how small everything became, simply from being higher up. I couldn’t help but wonder is this how God must feel looking down at us. Things that were so large when on the ground suddenly become so small and looked so meaningless. A car that’s bigger than me suddenly looked like a toy:
Imagine how the things we describe as problems must look to God. It must be so frustrating to see us worry over such small things simply because we cannot see the perspective God is looking at us from.
Imagine if we could change our perspective from a human understanding and comprehension and move a bit higher up to a God angle.
From human view, all we can see is what is in front of us and what we have left behind. However, from God’s view he can see what we can become.
If we could see the victory that lies ahead, I am sure just like God it would be easier for us to move on from our mistakes and not to get discouraged by our imperfections because from Gods angle it has no comparison to what we can become.
We all have a tendency to go back go to a place of comfort and stagnancy. Simply because our view is restricted. Just take the Israelites. At a point they believed it would have been easier to remain in bondage all because they could not see where God was taking them.
What if we could look beyond where we are now and just believe that God is taking us somewhere beyond our imagination.
A few things I have learned:
Our feelings do not always match the reality of the situation. If we put too much trust in our feelings to guide us, it may cause us to make irrational decisions. Taking a step back to actually analyse the situation may result in us taking a different approach.
One thing about this life is that every event, situation and period in our life produces an opportunity for us to learn and evolve. Instead of focusing on the negative side of difficult situations, change your perspective to see what you could possibly learn from it.
Change your perspective from always focusing on your limitations and start focusing on your potential.
If you’re always focusing on what you can’t do, you’ll never discover what you were born to do.
It’s time to start seeing things how God sees things.
With love always,
