Depth Perception

If God can love you the way that you are, why can’t you?  The answer is: you can!  Today is the perfect opportunity for you to pat yourself on the back for your accomplishments. Lift yourself up when you are feeling bad.  Look in the mirror and like what you see.  Today is as good a day as any to find your imperfections perfect.  You are God’s greatest creation.  The beauty that is in nature is no match for you, so if you can see the beauty in a rose, you should be able to see the beauty that blooms and blossoms in you.

Good day to you all!  I want you all to know that I am praying for you still. God is moving and building, and anytime there is construction things are going to look a mess before you see progress.  Keep your eyes lifted up.

Sometimes your eyes can fool you.  If you look into a pool of water it can sometimes be hard to tell how deep it really is.  3D movies entertain us because the technology that they use fools our eyes into believing that something in front of us in 3 dimensions that really is not.  Master artist know how to skillfully use colors to create shadows in their paintings in order to create the illusion that what they are painting is real. The artist Cezanne has painted apples in his portraits that are so believable that you are almost tempted to reach out for one.  I tell you again Dear Reader, sometimes your eyes can fool you.

Dear Reader I want to encourage you not to let peoples lack of depth perception get to you.  When Jesus walked the earth He was not seen in 3D.  He presented love and salvation that was real, yet there were people that would not reach out and grab it.  He was not an illusion or a painting, Jesus was and still is real. However there were people that saw no good in Him.  He performed miracles, and helped those in need, yet they labeled Him a criminal.  Dear Reader I want to let you know that when you proclaim Jesus folks are more willing to believe a 2D movie than a 3D you.  They didn’t believe that Jesus was the Savior then, and they don’t believe that He is saving and healing now.  They are living a 2D life and can’t adjust their eyes to the 3D life that God has bestowed upon you.  People will question your testimony and they will  question your faith.  People that have never opened a Bible will try to tell you what you should and should not be doing.  Understand, Dear Reader, that some people have a spiritual depth perception problem. They can’t see you in 3D.  They can’t see the Devotion,Discipleship, and Deliverance in your life.  They are still seeing the world in black and white, when God has given you a High Definition life.  I don’t argue with short sighted people I pray that they get glasses.  I can’t convince you that I walk with God, but I am praying that God convict you to walk with Him also.  Be encouraged Dear Reader and do not let anyone tell you what you are, when God has made you more than a conquer.  Keep your faith and you will remain in High Definition. 

You are beautiful, loved and blessed (In HD where available)
