THE BIG PICTURE!
November 13th, 2009Are you drained and confused? Have you lost sight of the ”BIG PICTURE”?
I hear a lot of people talk about how they suffer from exhaustion and deep confusion. Sometimes they are so confused that they don’t have a clue what they are confused about. I’ve noticed in most cases the source of confusion is the lack of direction in their lives.
Life can appear to be a big blur and sometimes we loose sight of the Big picture.
One thing I have noticed when I become confused it’s usually when my life is out of balance. When I have so many projects going on it’s easy to forget to prioritize and focus on what really matters. Or else there are times when I have found myself stuck in ideas and beliefs which I try to build my life on.
As most of you know I carry my camera wherever I go. I love Kodak moments! I think we can learn a bit of life in photography. In photography, if you don’t calibrate and focus the center of the camera properly the whole picture will be blurred. No amount of shots taken will make the picture clear until the center is focused.
Most of our confusion in life comes from not seeing a clear picture of who we are and who God calls us to be. Most of us take random shots in life hoping “to get the picture.”
How can we find our focus or center?
We must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, for He is the only One who can bring back the focus in our lives.
To find our deep center is to find a deep Person. Jesus. He is supposed to be the center of our life. If our center is not Jesus, we end up unbalanced, unfocused and blurred.
We must see ourselves the way God sees us. We must see God’s vision for our life. Jesus Himself said, “I have come that you may have life and have it abundantly.” He alone can give clarity to our blurry life.
Now do you get the big picture?
