Keeping in perspective..... it seems all we do affects our sight. we become nearsighted as we see all things relating to us and our objectives or purposes. A cow for example may look at the grass and think that it exists for him to live. while from the grass' perspective it seems that they cow is there to keep it from overgrowth and to fertilize the grass. Sometimes we have made it to seem to be that God the Father exists for His Children their needs and wants. Yet we know better but still it is very easy to get a nearsighted view of life and the eternal plans of the loving Father near sightedness is correctable but it requires an action. in the human body it requires glasses to adjust the vision. In the spirit it requires the Lord Himself to be in control of our whole lives causes us to desire His desires and to see as He sees. In this place you come to hurt as He hurts for those whom he loves and to rejoice with Him in the victories He has. Let the Holy Spirit Lift your eyes onto the higher views and to begin to see things in a clearer perspective as they relate to the Father and not us. Only God can realign us and we must be careful as we start to see better to never think we see it all and to remember it was they Holy Spirit who changed our viewpoint and must be the one to work in one beside us.

Perspective how do you see it?
Hello Friends
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the earth today. And in some ways it appears to have rolled over and onto the children of God? So much of this damage is the obvious work of the one who hates our Heavenly Father. Yet it is also seems we bring a portion of it in as well. I look into the stories in the bible and I see little of the disciples in heated debates with each other over things that we have made into end time issues. I do believe it is important to be doctrinally accurate especially for those of us who speak or broadcast in another form. But have we maybe placed the emphasis in part on the doctrine of the Father over the heart of the Father? We must be careful or find ourselves as instruments of division rather than ones united with Him in His work. How you see is so closely related to all that you do and sometimes the things you do bring a limitation to what you perceive. lets look at these thoughts a little closer.
Perspective literally means view, and each of us has our own view or perspective in all things in life. In some things we have looked longer and broadened our view in an area, while in others we virtually have looked with closed eyes to a thing. our position determines our viewpoints and sometimes it is not the view that is off but the position itself. We all start with improper viewpoints from our birth and as we become born again we get a vision alignment. Yet even there if that new Birth is not hands off by men we can come into the church with a tilted perspective. This time standing from a position of a denomination or a great friend or family member and the danger here is that the new viewpoint becomes semi sacred to us. We grow to defend it, as if it itself were the cause of our existence. the longer we walk in this form the stronger and more biased we become. Even researching it to defend our cause not realizing we have slipped off course a little. One would argue where is danger in this if it keeps us in the church and in the bible but remember keeping you in a church or in the bible is not the eternal goals of our lives. But a full and developed loving relationship with the author of all things is.
Each of us has a unique purpose and position in Christ and from that place we see differently the same things. this is why we can talk about things and not agree in a sense. look at the four blind man who experienced an elephant. Each of them came away with a different description of the same thing. One said it is like a great tree for he had held the elephants leg. Another said it is like a great wall as he reached out touching the animals massive side. the one who was handling the trunk described it as snake like rope, And another said it is much like a great palm leaf for he had a hold of its huge ear.
What part of the Fathers heart have you Experienced and are you using it correctly to bring others into it as well as allowing others to bring their part into you. for this is the work of completion that is still being done in the earth today.

Things to think about to keep this centered in Truth
- There is only one God.
- He is revealed by the Holy Spirit to us.
- That same Spirit inspired a written work to be our guard rails in life.
- His Son is Jesus, Christ our saviour.
- Jesus is the way the truth and the Life, and alone He encapsulates everything that Father has to say.
