Learn to look at the Bigger Picture
What’s happening in your life is just a chapter of your story. So don’t allow your mind to revolve only in what you are facing. Look at the bigger picture because that’s how you can appreciate the things that God allowed you to experience. Don’t focus too much on your own struggles. Choose to fight the right battle. Try to ask yourself this question: Will this moment affect my life 5 years from now? If the answer is “No,” then it’s time for you to let go. Widen your perspective and allow God to teach you how to properly see things using His lens of love. How you deal with this life depends on your mindset. So set yourself free from worries by focusing on the good things that happened to you.
Set your eyes on the lessons that you can apply along the journey. Magnify the good things around you, and you will see your situation differently. Instead of dwelling on the pain and difficulties, you will treat every problem as an opportunity for you to become a better person. And when you focus on God’s goodness, you will be able to overcome the obstacles that come your way, and you will see His hands moving in the midst. He will take you to a higher place so that when you look down and see the bigger perspective, you will appreciate everything that He is doing just for you to grow in His presence.
Try to consider the impact of your actions on the people who love you. Treat yourself as part of a family. Yes, you have your own life. But your decisions can affect the people around you. It can either make them feel at ease, or you can make them feel worried. So don’t just live your life according to your own will. Follow the ways of God and remind yourself that there are people who truly care for you. In such a way, you will not just think of your own situation, but you will also learn to serve and love others.
Remember that God will never allow something to happen without a greater purpose. And it’s beyond what you can comprehend. What He is doing in your life will not only benefit you but will also bless many people. Wait and see, God will use your story to inspire someone. And every difficult situation that you experienced will turn into stories of victory that will uplift a broken person. That’s how wonderful the plan God is. He is not only doing things just for your own sake, but He is also considering the people you will meet along the journey.
