Perspective As A Mirror

I was walking at dusk tonight and every moment felt like one that should be captured by a photograph. The sun was setting behind the landscape with bright bold colors of red, yellow, and orange illuminating the sky and creating a backdrop to all of creation. Even normal every day items like a swing, a bench, a fallen leaf seemed important as the sky brought their details to my attention. As quickly as I was making mental snapshots, the sun quickly set behind the houses and that moment of amazing color and brilliance was gone until it's show tomorrow.

I wondered to myself--where am I every night that I miss such a brilliant scene of nature? What else am I missing, taking for granted, or assuming does not exist? As Romans 3:34 states, "What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness?" Nature changes depending on where you live, but because I do not see the snow capped mountains does not mean that they do not exist. If one does not experience the changing colors of leaves from vibrant green to brilliant red, does this change not take place? Everywhere we are, no matter where we are, God has put His creation, His creativity, His power and beauty around us. Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

Perspective is relative though to one who's eyes are taking in the scenes around them. To one person a setting sun over the horizon inspires hope and creates a stirring of the spirit to express emotions, words, and feelings; but to another, that very setting sun creates fear, anxiety, and depression as they know that darkness will soon follow.

Our personalities, beliefs, histories, feelings, and emotions cause us all to have different reactions to things and to see images, shapes, and colors uniquely than that of another.

"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

One's perspective of the world is a mirror to their feelings and emotions within.

The eyes see what the soul tells it to.

One's perspective reflects who they are as a person.
