A Matter Of Perspective

I've been reflecting recently on the different perspectives people take in their approach to life, and I've come to the point where I'm personally grateful that I live each day with a "Christian Faith" perspective. My faith provides me with a personal assurance of love and confident hope that I couldn't possibly ever achieve in my own strength and by my own design.

In place of the temporary, I gain the eternal.
In place of working to earn favour, I receive freely the unmerited favour of God.
In place of fear and uncertainty, I know the assurance of a peaceful and certain outcome.

God's perspective is always best and we can never go wrong if we live in His love and grace.

Fear keeps us limping in the dark
Grace keeps us walking in the light.
