Our perspective affects everything in our lives. There has been a battle raging over perspective from as far back as the garden. The serpent came to Eve, challenged her point of view on who God is and told her, that if she ate the forbidden fruit, she would get to see in a new way. Our perspective is framed up by our proximity to what we are looking at and the angle from which we are positioned. As we draw close to God and his presence, we are able to gain his perspective and see and feel his heart and intention towards us and the world around us. Gaining God’s perspective is a foundational part of our faith journey and builds hope and resilience into our hearts.
