Seeing the Forest

Sometimes it’s just so hard to take your eyes off the trees, to zoom out and see the bigger picture. I find myself sometimes spending amazing amounts of time studying a single point of life while life zips on past me in every direction. Meanwhile I’m standing there in a stupor wondering what the heck is going on. I can’t fathom the things I’ve missed while focusing on the wrong things, I think God brings things into our life sometimes just to show us something or to draw our attention to him but instead we end up thinking that the very thing he has presented us with is THE point rather than, HIM.

Why can’t I just get my brain out of this world long enough to see the bigger picture? I’m an eternal creature…. An everlasting being, created for a purpose. Not just ”a” purpose but a purpose that’s greater than anything we can see or understand.

God, show me what I need to see….. fill me with a longing to follow you, to understand you better,to love you and know you more. I pray that this false self inside of me would be revealed and brought to the alter of your love.
