My Own Little World by Matthew West
Behind every news story there is a life story. Behind every application for assistance is a human being. Behind every ambulance and police car flashing lights is a family drama or tragedy playing out. Behind every played out scene in literature, on the movie screen, reality tv and real life scenes in grocery stores, libraries, walking paths is a dynamic that had years in the making - we see only a glimpse, catch only a thought.
Perspective. You can live in a world where the only perspective you filter life through is Your Own. Or you can live in a world where you add the perspective of the One who created all of our lives and knows all of our stories personally. The One who waits for us on the front porch with open arms, no matter how far away we have traveled and no matter how long it took us to get home and truly no matter what shape we arrive in - the more in need we are, the more welcoming our Host.
What is your perspective? Do you live a life of scarcity and keep your hands tightly clinging to all that you have, even though all of it is perishable? Or do you live a life of abundance, in thanksgiving for all that you can be a part of, hands open to receive the Eternal and all the blessings just waiting to pass through your life into all the lives you can possibly touch and imagine?
