Tuesday, July 31, 2007 ( Cracked Lenses @ 10:13 AM ) In life, pain often functions like cracked lenses. It creates within us a conflict between what we experience and what we believe. pain can give us a badly distorted perspective on life- and on God. In those times, we need our God to provide us with new lenses to help us see clearly again. That clarity of sight usually begins when we turn our eyes upon the Lord. The psalmist encourages us to do this: "My eyes are upon You, O GOD the Lord; in You I take refuge; do not my soul destitute" (141:8). Seeing God clearly can help us see life's experiences more clearly. As we turn our eyes to the Lord in times of pain and struggle, we will experience His comfort and hope in our daily lives. He will help us to see everything clearly again. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face; And the things of the earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace. Focusing on Christ puts everything in perspective. 0 comments |
