My life is a masterpiece, drawn by the hand of my Creator, the Master of the art Principle of Perspective, which is by definition is the difference in appearance of an object, depending on its distance and direction from the viewer. Small things appear larger as you approach closer until they are all you can see. When you are very close, the object will fill your vision, excluding anything else.
When you are looking at God up close, that’s a good thing; providing clarity of right from wrong. When you’re looking at a problem, not so good. I’ve learned after observing the work of this Master that I can’t look at both at the same time! If I’m fixed on the problem close at hand, I can’t see over it or around it to find God for help—He seems so distant I feel alone, a victim of this mountain between me and anything else. And the scriptures telling me He will never leave me to manage on my own become a faint echo in my ears. "
Yet from habit and a remnant of faith, I cry out "This isn’t the way I’m supposed to live! I’m a Child of the King! Forgive that my eyes wandered away from Your face for a moment, Lord. As my Great Physician, please examine my eyes for their poor vision and restore my clear sight which agrees with what you see, even when I can’t see it. And now I clearly see You standing between me and the problem, which already begins to look smaller, receding and already seems so insignificant. Thank you, Lord for giving m a brief glimpse of my life from your point of view.
