Put your problems in perspective.


One of these days I went past a butterfly on the wall and its size caught my attention, so I decided to take a picture of it. When I looked at the picture I had just taken, the butterfly looked so much bigger in the picture than it  actually was, so I decided to take another picture that put in perspective the size of that butterfly. Have a look at the difference of the two pictures!

How have you been looking at your problems?

This had me thinking... if our perception is limited, things could appear much bigger than they seem. Sometimes one needs a broader vision to put things in their true perspective. 

How have you been looking at the problems that you are going through? While your eyes are narrowed in on the problem, it will seem bigger than it is. In order to put it into perspective, you need to take a step back and broaden your vision. 

When you stop looking at your problem and start looking at God, your vision broadens, because you begin to understand that in comparison to Him, the size of your problem is insignificant, just as the butterfly's size is insignificant compared to the hand next to it.

Don't be overwhelmed by your problems. Allow God to step into the picture, so you may see the size of your problem shrinking before your eyes!

God bless!

  1. Thank you. This is deep in using your example you made me think..With each decision I need to be careful and watchful that l don't allow my perception to make things bigger than they seem, and limit possible opportunities.

  3. Love it! We human beings can over complicate things, when we take a step back and see things through Gods eyes, thats when we realise that the problem is smaller than what we made it out to be.
