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.
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!”
