Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Perspective

I have a very fresh perspective on some things right now.
 I have a front row seat with several people that have recently lost a loved one or are losing a loved one.
 It's difficult and holy at the same time.
 I see these people that have their focus right on target.

It's as if people get tunnel vision.

 Living out every minute with intention.
 They aren't necessarily whipping the world into shape and getting everything under the sun done with a list of to-dos......they are taking the moments as they get them and living and speaking with such conviction and truth.
  The filters are gone and everything that is said and done is with one filter...and that filter is
God's Word.

The Way, the Truth and the Life.

Jesus!

It's as if the fluff and distraction and lies of this world are intolerable and everything gets very focused and yet urgent.

  Urgent to LOVE and LIVE!

There is an urgency to let people know WHO LOVE is and WHO LIFE is all about.


People get very honest and blunt.

It is hard to watch suffering and sadness, but I love the perspective that comes.

 I pray there is peace and relief for those that are suffering or grieving, but I pray that we are  never the same, that we never forget this "perspective" and this "urgency" and this "intentional living".

It is Holy Ground.
