Perspectives

 Whitney Housyon died a little over a week ago. 

She sang love to Jesus-"the Gospel ."



 

I Look To You As I lay me down

Heaven hear me now

I’m lost without a cause

After giving it my all

Winter storms have come

And darkened my sun

After all that I’ve been through

Who on earth can I turn to?

Chorus:

I look to you,

I look to you

After all my strength is gone

In you I can be strong

aI look to you,

I look to you

And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song

I look to you

'bout to lose my breath

There's no more fighting left

Sinking to rise no more

Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken

Led to my regret

And I don't know if I'm go'n make it

Nothing to do but lift my head

Chorus:

My levees are broken

My walls are coming down on me

My rain is falling

Defeat is calling

I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle

I need you

Shine on me!

Chorus: 

One meaning of perspective is "the way in which objects appear to the eye."

 2 PICTURES OF THE SAME HOUSE

YET THEY LOOK LIKE TWO DIFFERENT HOUSES

We all have different viewpoints or perspectives.   There are so many ways to see objects, regardless of how different they are they remain the same object.  Comparitively the way we understand what we hear, read or feel may seem different, but only because of our viespoints of life's history.

In relationship to God, there are so many aspects to Him that we can only take in so little at once.  Some people think their thinking is the right way and others think theirs is.  God's thinking is so beyond ours.  He is the Alpha and Omega.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Lately in church the topic has been about the Kingdom of God and today it included the righteousness of God. Some people think righteousness is relating to bad things people do such as what is morally right or wrong - and sometimes in particular to those outside the church.

The Bible says we are to  "SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ."  How different is it as we see righteousness and how God sees it.  Only God is righteous but we can be righteous because we have been given right standing with God through Jesus Christ.

Matthew 7:3

Jesus said  "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

How responsible are we for the good or bad of others?  What difference can we make ro help others and ourselve to be and do better?  I think being a disciples of Jesus, His follower of His ways and His truths should be my goal
