Clarity of Perspective

We need to see things as they really are. Far too often we are lulled to sleep and our perspective of reality gets distorted. Henry W. Longfellow writes,

"If Spring came but once in a century, instead of once a year, or burst forth with the sound of an earthquake, and not in silence, what wonder and expectation there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change. But now the silent succession suggests nothing but necessity. To most, only the cessation of the miracle would be miraculous and the perpetual exercise of God's power seems less wonderful than its withdrawal would be."

God give us clear vision and enable us to live life in light of that perspective.
