Transform Your Reality With a Godly Perspective

ByKatherine Wisniewski

A skewed perspective can also make our problems seem worse than they are. A pebble appears huge when viewed up close. But when viewed from a distance, it looks small. Similarly, while we perceive our difficulties as insurmountable boulders, even mountains, God sees them as mere pebbles on our path. God even tells us “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.’ declares the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8, NIV) 

Perspective can cloud our judgment about people and make our problems seem worse. But we can seek a Godly perspective about people, places, and problems in life.

Trust Is Letting Go

ByKatherine Wisniewski

I am unfortunately prone to a pattern of giving my problems to God, then immediately picking them back up and refusing to let them go. Over the years I have e learned that God doesn’t always answer my prayers when and how I ask, I’ve also seen how He always shows up and acts on my behalf. In fact, when I look back on my life I see countless times where He has worked His good plans even out of seemingly bad situations. Yet, my obsessive need to find a solution on my own persists. Instead, I need to trust God. Trust is letting go.

I felt as if I had nothing left inside me.

Not Broken . . .  A Masterpiece

ByKatherine Wisniewski

It was at this point of brokenness I began seeking God. And as I sought the Lord and dug into my bible, I realized I’d been believing a lie. Everyone is lovable. God created us in His own image and likeness. God loves us simply because we are His. In fact, God loves us so much He sent Jesus to save us even when we were still sinners. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, ESV)
