In life we seem to get caught up in our day to day routines, seeing only what we need to see. We start our days thinking we already know what will happen, go to work, got to class, maybe there is a meeting or even once in a while have lunch with a friend- but, we just get caught up in this world. Instead we should plan for the unexpected. Let us not just look into our "first lens" of life. May we focus in and see a real perspective. Look around at the people we are with everyday - think about how God sees that person as an individual. Do we not realize their are other people in our lives? People who are going about life in their own way.
May we focus in and strive to interact with one another. Take the time to see what is really going on in each others lives. I do not thing we realize - but, just so you know we are not as busy as we think we are. Lets take that extra couple minutes in our days to get to know the people around us in our lives.
From a "zoomed out" perspective our society has followed the social norms of living a busy lifestyle. As we focus in each individual person in our society - each one of us has a life! Looking around today - may we start to see the perspective of seeing "real life" in everyone's life. Everyone has a story - as we walk by, drive by, or think of people we have no idea what is really going on in their lives. That is why we should take the time to listen and share about experiences in each others lives.
As we take the time for "focus" the lens on the lives around us, we may than realize the focus becomes less on ourselves. May we take the interest of others into a stronger perspective. "Philippians 2:3-4" May we realize that everyone has a life and a passion and may we gain insights from one another. May we stop the judgement of one another and realize we are all equal.
Become a photographer- better yet, be the camera! Allow God to be the photographer! Let him take the pictures of life through you. May we start to see life through his perspective. Focus in on the lives of one another. Capture the joys and happiness of laughter and the hurts and sadness of pain. Lets allow God to pull out the "zoom lens" of our lives and share life. It may be vulnerable at times but, we are called to love through sharing our real life experiences.
Cameras are great but, cameras are better when pictures are taken with them. Lets capture the moments of each others lives. May we not pass by beautiful moments in life that could create even more beautiful pictures that last longer than a memory. God knows what picture extravaganzas he wants to go on and what photo shoots in life to focus in on. May we open up our lives into God's great plan and allow him to do the work that needs to be done.
May we gain a better perspective to "focus" in on the lives around us and start to see life through the camera lens!
