Perspective

The best definition of Wisdom I have ever heard is: The ability to see life from God's perspective. Just think about that for a second. What if we could see what God sees and know what God knows. If you could see the big picture, know what lies ahead, know how it all ends. What if you could see how much God really loves you, see that He is really fond of you. I heard a man say once that the reason we get offended by other people, when they cut us off in traffic or belittle us with their words, is not because it cost us 2 seconds on our way home, but because we don't feel loved. We feel offended, disrespected, like the other person is saying we are not good enough. But if you truly know and believe that you are the pride and joy of the maker of the universe, you are the apple of the His eye, you are the son or daughter or the Lord Almighty, how can someone in traffic disrespect you or steal your joy. The Love of God brings a confidence and a joy that no one can steal. I have a friend that is the perfect example of this. When he walks, it always looks like he is strolling thru a park with the andy griffith theme song in his head. He always look so peaceful, joyful, never stressed. Why? Because he knows without a shadow of a doubt that he is loved by God, not like the love we know, where you love your brother because hes your brother. A love we cant imagine. The Bible says His love for us makes the love we have for our family seem like hate. He doesn't just love you, He adores you.

No matter what you have going on right now, remember to see the big picture and know that you are loved by an Awesome God.
