Perspective

In each situation in our lives we react a certain way to what is happening, in many cases reacting differently than other people. Why do we react differently than others? It is perspective!     Perspective is defined as “a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” In a light hearted way, (in some cases) a football game comes to mind.

When that thought crossed your mind, did you begin to picture in your mind the solution, seeing the steps to solving the problem? Is it possible that you are being given the knowledge to creating the solution to your own problem? Perhaps, you have the solution to a problem for someone you are yet to meet. You may ask how is that possible? It possibly came as a fleeting thought and you continued to ponder on that thought and you began the steps necessary to complete the process and you are not sure why you put in so much effort. Could it be, that you could have the solution to someone’s problem? God has ways to use us, that we may never consider. When you see something that has amazed you or you wonder why someone created “that”!  It is possible that, it was not created for you, but for a person that you will encounter in the near future? ...
