God's Eyes (for a second)

Ever notice how a picture never does a scenic view, or any view for that matter, justice? Ever heard someone say,"Oh man, you had to be there to see that sunset" or "The picture just doesn't do it justice"? 

You see, we are all made in God's eyes. You've heard this before, but have you taken the time to really think what this means? We have a part of God in us and for a second God gave me a deeper grasp of what this means --I'm going to share that with you.

A camera is man made, when you take a picture it really only has one solid focal point, a person may  look somewhere else in the picture, but can only focus as well as the resolution of the picture. I realized this at Costco when I was watching an HD TV. The picture was perfect, but was not the same as reality.

Next time you drive observe your surroundings not only can you focus your eyes around you, but you can also turn your head. You are able to clearly see whatever you choose to observe.

Then it hit me --BOOM. God sees the same way I do when I focus on one point, but God sees that way with everything. I changed my focus from the Dory sticker my sister left on the upper left hand side of my rearview mirror (she did that to help her smile on her way to school. That day it made me smile), next there was the line of blinkers from the oncoming traffic, blinking out of synch with only a pattern God would be able to find, then to the thought of driving down Broadway downtown, if I was that amused with the blinkers here, who knows what would happen if I tried to take in my entire surroundings of Broadway as I ventured down that busy street at night. How can God see all that? I cannot fathom it.

If there's one thing I should know it's just because I can't fathom it doesn't mea God will not allow it to happen.

Take Peter walking on water toward Jesus. Call it a myth or a lie if you like just because you cannot fathom it, but I believe it really happened. Peter must have been so scared because he knows what it's like to sink, he knows what to expect, standing there at the edge of the boat hearing Jesus call,"Peter, don't be afraid, I am here", worst case scenario, Peter steps in an swims back to the top, so what was he afraid of? 

He was not afraid of falling in the water he was afraid of something different, if Jess said,"Hey Peter, I want you to cannonball into the water and get back in the boat", Peter would have been like, "No problem!", but he asked him to do something that would go against everything he knew. Something that would bring him to the realization that just because you've got God in your heart, doesn't make you God of your world. The fact of the matter is we are afraid to see through the eyes of God because we are so used to the heart-breaking reality of the world. Our world. The one that we've messed up from the beginning of time and beginning of our lives. The more we think we understand the more lost we get; when we submit to God, then we will truly begin to understand because we won't just focus on our destination while we're driving, we'll obsere the present, comprehend our surroundings of the "Now" and ultimately begin to get a glimpse of the world through God's eyes and see the world as God intended it. 

Funny how in a few seconds God can show me all of this! If that's not proof of how awesome and truly Divine God is, pray about it, and God will show you too:)

God Bless Ya'll,

You're in my prayers!
