I've found peace in walking in the light of God's word, even when I struggle internally. I grew weary of twisting God's word to fit my own narrative, and of accepting the validation others offered out of concern, even when it wasn't aligned with truth.
There's a major problem with viewing the world only through our own eyes: we often fail to recognize how interconnected and interdependent everything is. We become fixated on challenges and rely solely on our own understanding to solve problems or achieve peace.
I've learned firsthand that relying on my own perspective isn't the answer. The world was established by the Father's word—nothing exists outside of Him, for without Him, nothing has true roots. Everything He has made stands in its place, both beneficial and purposeful. Sometimes I wonder how we miss the core message of Genesis 1: nothing exists apart from His will.
If I want to live a fulfilling life, I must view the world through His eyes, regardless of my circumstances. This means resisting the urge to see my life solely through my own perspective or through the opinions of others. Otherwise, I risk missing the bigger picture and the deep interconnections at play.
Lord, help me to see the world through Your eyes and to seek You in everything I do. Thank You for providing the Holy Spirit to guide my steps, teach me Your ways, and strengthen me. Amen.
