an illusion


Things aren't always as they appear.

When we look at problems with our physical eyes, we are prone to feel discouraged, hopeless, and helpless. However, when we view these same matters with our spiritual eyes, faith rises up.

The Comforter shines light and hope in the midst of our troubles. God's promises come into view and we are suddenly on a different plane, seated in heavenly places with a new perspective. Creative power is ignited and we can scale obstacles never thought possible when looking from an earthly vantage. Only with Him is this possible. Thank You Jesus!

Wow, that picture freaked me out!

Amen to that. Too often I look at things through my human eyes. Better, always, to see them through my spiritual ones.

hey! it's spiderman in his youth! :) great post! i like the visual of seeing things in our lives from a different plane-- that God's-eye view rather than the man's eye view... puts it more into perspective for me... thanks!

Angie-
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. I really appreciate you taking time to make a comment, also.

We as humans tend to see things in our world, and we fail to see how that same event is occuring in God's Kingdom. Excellent thought!

Angie,

I had to turn my head to the right to get the proper perspective here!

Great photo; great post.

So true, I do want to see the world through Jesus' eyes. Everything looks so bad from down here these days.

Oh what a wonderful Lord and Savior we have.... you are so right, when things look impossible... He reveals that with HIM all things are possible.

Love your insight!

As always, so inspiring. Oh may we look at life with our spiritual eyes, eyes fixed on Jesus!

P.S. I'm having an author on my blog tomorrow who has done just that very thing. Her book is called Face of Faith and I know you and your readers will be encouraged with her trust in the Lord! Please stop on by if you can.

Much love,
Susan

We are in such a place right now -- it's exciting when you start viewing obstacles as opportunities. God is always faithful :)

Sorry I've not been by in so long -- I'm still reading even though I've failed miserably at commenting of late ;)
