How do you choose to view things in your life?
Ugly things
Beautiful things
Uncomfortable situations
If you look at a challenge through worldly eyes, fear will be in control.
You’ll worry
Fret
Obsess

For God’s hand to remain in control.
The challenge will become a blessing.
Blessing?
Choosing to let go of a child is a blessing?
Searching through piles of help wanted ads?
Choosing to love the unloving?
Yes. Because you know God is here.
Present.
God loves that child more than you and your part is to seek God’s will and obey.
He’ll find that job, give you HIs love for that unloving person, and anything else you ever need.
Blessing or curse?
Fear or faith?
Which eyes will you filter your life through?
