View

Eyes fall on the same scene they have known for a thousand years. The mind plays the same game. But the angle or perhaps the light take us someplace, somewhere else.

The moment stops and we see something we have missed along.  The axle on which this life turns is not us. We strive for control.  We hold it as if it is life giving and freedom fighting.  We fight even the slightest exhale thinking we will release some piece of the menagerie we hold. But it is the very thing that keeps us from freedom.

Giving God control is the ultimate act of freedom.

It is the keys to the prison of self-doubt and self-focus.

The prison opens and our pain senses the presence of the Almighty.  Our fear becomes acquainted with His fearlessness.

Our view becomes a reflection of His grace.

Search me O God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts.  Point out anything in me that offends you and lead me along the path of everlasting life.  

Psalm 139:23-24
