We even took selfies...because everyone takes selfies in the bathroom. Right?!? I mean, bathroom mirror selfies are always popping up on my Instagram.
The pictures combined with life got me thinking...about a broader perspective and the big picture!
Normally, I live my life on the ground, meaning I can only see the things right in front of me. Even though I can turn and see different pictures, I really am only seeing the "front view." Because we can only see what's right in front of us, we forget to take different perspectives into account. We also sometimes miss the whole picture or what's really going on with a situation. Many times, when we are at school we forget to take the larger perspective into account and it leaves us feeling frustrated.
Just like being up at the top of the building gave me a view from above; God's view is from above and He sees the big picture. I was reminded of the importance of looking at the whole picture or person before making judgement calls. Really the only way to do this, is to see life through God's eyes. And believe me. I truly fail at that sometimes. Through constant communication and time in his word, we will begin to see the broader picture. This boarder picture allows us to love the whole person or accept the situation. I challenge you to stop living with a "ground perspective" and ask God to help you see the whole situation...with a coworker, with a student, or in your own life. A perspective from above can change the heart. ❤️
