| PERCEPTION (the lens that we look through life are important)
In this life it is all about how we perceive things.
How are we looking at our situations that you have been through and going through?
We can either allow ourselves to move forward or hold on to the pain that has been or maybe holding us captive. Allowing ourselves to move forward would be the smarter thing to do so people would say but many of us hold on to the pain because it is all we have ever known.
These past few weeks I been thinking about my pain that comes from family and so forth and how for many years I been holding on to that pain of x,y,z and how holding on to it is really not getting me anywhere. You think I would be healed by now but some of that pain still resides in me haha. My brokenness, my broken family, and broken relationships. The longing for that restoration to my soul.
Psalms 51
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Holding on to the pain can become very blinding to a person. Allowing your eyes look through pain blurs our vision.
For me I am tired of allowing my vision to be blurred and now my eyes are on the one who sits enthroned above the heavenly realms because that is the love that I desire and the one I honor. I will no longer be silent but speak forth in what I feel and what God places in my heart and I pray in the removal of veils that have been blinding me. Standing firm in faith and knowing that victory is mine because He paid the price. That my eyes will be looking through His lens and not my own.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (New International Version) 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (New International Version) 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Hebrews 12
2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
