Seeing Through God’s Eyes

I’ve been praying each morning, asking God to make His will my will. Today, I asked, “God, show me what I need to do today, and I will do it.” This led me to realize that I need a new perspective.

God sees the world very differently than I do. After moving into our house, all I could see were problems, things I wanted to improve, and endless chores. But today, God opened my eyes in a new way. I began to see beauty in our home and peace in my life. Nothing around me has changed—it’s me who’s changed! All along, I lacked nothing, but I couldn’t see it.

Thank you, Lord, for this morning. As I sat on the porch, I was enveloped by the serenity of Your creation. The sky, painted with hues of dawn, stretched out in glorious splendor, while the gentle breeze carried with it the crisp scent of the earth. The trees stood tall and majestic, their leaves dancing softly in the sunlight that kissed everything it touched with warmth and life. Butterflies flitted gracefully around me, their delicate wings shimmering as if dipped in gold. In that sacred moment, I realized, Lord, that You opened my eyes to see the beauty and abundance that surround me. Now, I truly understand—I have everything I need right here in front of me.

The Need for Change

I’ve also noticed that the way I do things is part of the problem. Today, I made lunch, cleaned, and worked for my clients. But through all these activities, I didn’t carry peace with me.

• I rushed everything, thinking it would help me achieve more.
• I tried to cut corners, believing it would bring more gain.
• I set more goals, hoping to be more productive.

I now realize that the rush, the pressure, and the anxiety are all self-imposed. No one is making me feel this way—it’s entirely within me. This is a serious issue, and I must change quickly. If I don’t, the peace and beauty that God revealed to me today will never remain in my life. And this is the very thing my heart longs for the most.
