Do you view life through rose colored glasses? Just what does that statement mean?
We
need to see the bigger picture through God’s eyes. Is the situation you are in something you
dislike? Do you wonder why? Maybe God has placed you right where you are
at this moment for a reason. It’s hard
for us to see the big picture sometimes, but God is working through you for His
greater good.
“And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to
his purpose.” Romans 8:28
Do
you work with fellow employees that are difficult and make your life miserable
on the job? What could be a reason you
are there? Could it be that YOU will be
the one who will shine God’s light. You
have a choice. You can either shine your
light or you can participate in the ugliness that goes on around you and have a
pity party. Maybe you are saying that
it’s just not fair. They don’t treat you
right. Ask yourself, how are you
treating them? Are you lashing back or
are you trying to make a positive impact on them. We are God’s hands and feet on this earth,
you know.
Early
in my married life while I was working my first job, a Sunday School teacher
taught me an important lesson. She said
that I could either hate my job or love my job.
It was all in my attitude. I
could constantly be upset because I wasn’t making enough money or not working
the hours I wanted to work. OR, I could
be thankful I had a job and make the best of it. I don’t know about you but I’ve learned that
all the complaining and griping and being in a bad mood takes much more
effort. It also creates physical
aliments. And it will affect people that
are around you as well. “If mama ain’t
happy, ain’t nobody happy!”
You
can make your present situation a depressing place to be or you can look up and
see your situation with divine perspective through God’s eyes. We are only here for a short time so let’s
make the best of the time we have. Shine
His light with every step you take, whether it be the grocery store, at work,
in you car, or at your kitchen table.
