Perspective. God has kept this word tattooed in flashing neon on my brain for a seemingly endless amount of days.
Words. Thoughts. Body language. Reactions. These all serve as great indicators of where our perspective lies. It all comes down to this: Is our viewpoint coming from our disheveled heart and mind or the heart and mind of Christ?
I keep finding myself in different conversations, places and circumstances where God might as well yell out, "That's your perspective, not Mine!" And, He's not yelling at the people I'm talking to or the people I'm with; He's hollering at me! As I grit my teeth or even roll my eyes, I can almost feel Him slap me gently on the back of the head, reminding me that I need to share His perspective.
By adjusting my view of the situation and tuning into His, I see the situation more clearly. Things like selfishness, jealousy, pride and lack of understanding take a hike when I choose to see things as God sees them and choose to see people as God sees them.
