Perspective

We look around and ponder if these are our people. These events, the circumstances, random or built for our better?

We wonder if God hides the reasons, hides His will, hides the end from the beginning.

Perhaps it is not what is there but the view of it all, the perspective, the lens. What if this path is exactly what He has forged for us?

The frustration, perhaps an invitation to pray.

The heartache, merely a reason to pause before Him.

The worry, sent as a lesson to lean in.

The work, a labor to give away control and embrace encouragement.

We change when we look through the eyes of child.  A parent hides no good.  Our Father hides no blessing. The child seeks, the child of God surrenders.  

We turn our eyes towards Him and He casts understanding into confusion and light into darkness. A holy transaction of what is to what He is making us.

And I am certain, that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.  Philippians 1:6
