See.


If you can change the way you see what you see, you can step into places you never dreamed you would be.

If you can change the way you look at that in which you look, you can take back everything you ever thought the enemy took.

Jesus didn’t see the water as water. He saw it as more.
He viewed that which would cause you to sink as a rock-solid floor.

He didn’t view dying on what the world despised an object of loss.
He knew Salvation and Eternity was waiting on the other side of the cross.

He didn’t see going to Hell as feat too horrific for a King.
He saw it as an epic display through which death would lose its power and its sting.

He didn’t see the short guy hanging from the tree as a man to avoid and leave alone.
He saw the short man’s climbing heart and invited Himself into his home.

He doesn’t view your weakness as a means to push you away.
He sees your weakness as His power, and where you're broken, He comes in and makes His room to stay.

God didn’t see the sea of opposition as the devastating end to the new start.
He saw it as the time to show how the obedience of His people has power for seas to part.

God didn’t see the harlot as a woman to cut out of His holy space.
He saw her as a courageous warrior worthy to be listed among the heroes of faith.

God didn’t see me with spinal meningitis and frown as I was about to die.
He was smiling with miracle power in His heart knowing my mind would one day soar beyond the sky.

God didn’t gasp when you failed, fell short and made that mistake.
He knew His love for you in those situations would cause you to become great.

Deep in darkness, He saw a universe with countless radiating lights.
Deep in the dust, He saw His children that in love would surrender their rights.

Deep in prison, He didn't see Paul's gift bound by iron bars.
He knew the Word sent from prison would have influence beyond the stars.

Deep in Peter's betrayal, God didn't see the coward weeping on the ground.
He knew the power in repentance that would have him die on a cross upside down.

Deep inside of you is the power of perspective that sees Eternity.
Deep inside of you are the eyes of God that don't see things as they are, but as they ought to be.

How do you see what you see, and what exactly holds you back from standing in places you never dreamed you could be?

Change the way you look at that in which you look.
You will take back everything you ever thought the enemy took.

Never look at the mountain and let your shoulders slump.
Look at the mountain, open your mouth and from the top of your lungs shout, “JUMP!”
