A
Matter of Perspective
“Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the
most favorable light at all times; in all circumstances.” St. Vincent De Paul
“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa
You’ve heard the saying, “don’t judge a book by its
cover.” I have read several books where the title didn’t match the content as I
expected. I had to change my whole perspective once I started reading the book.
In life, it could be the same. Some might say, “What you see is what you get.”
But that’s not always true. Maybe you have been dating a person for a while,
you become engaged thinking that you know him/her enough to marry. Once
married, the spouse seems to change. And your perspective must change. There
are adjustments that must be made. Maybe you didn’t know your spouse didn’t
take out the trash or put the dirty clothes in the hamper. You wonder why the
clothes are on the floor next to the hamper or the trash is everywhere except
in the trash can. Maybe the dishes are piling up in the sink. Unless you lived with
the person (which I don’t advocate) before you married, you wouldn’t know this
would be the issue after you married. Or maybe it was an issue, and you thought
it would change once you are married. Our perspective before and after marriage
is never correct. Our expectations are either too high or too low, but God
knows before and after what is going to happen. He knows how our perspectives
will change and if we don’t put God first in our life, no matter what the
circumstance, we will never learn how to adjust our perspective to a pleasing
outcome. Allow God to guide you and lead you in all aspects of your life.
