Perspective
December 29th, 2008 at 12:06 pm (Musings)
This post is rather a departure from my usual writing style. I wouldn’t really call it poetry, but I’m not sure what to call it. Just a few of the thoughts I’ve had lately on perspective and seeing God’s plans instead of mine.
It only takes a moment
for eyes to be opened
a blinding flash
of what should have been obvious
or just a subtle flutter of the veil.
Either way revealing
the truth of the matter
and the way things really are.
Just a glimpse into eternity
a looking from outside myself
seeing through another’s eyes,
through His eyes.
Just long enough to see
how exactly wrong I am
and how upside down
my perception of reality.
His is the true reality
the one that lies beyond
the skin of this world
and often beyond my understanding.
How many times I’ve cried
because I didn’t see
how He see differently
and works toward an end
which is not the one I had in mind.
Until those moments come
when by His grace I see
from a new perspective
if only for a moment.
