Through Heaven's Eyes

Wow, I could have never imagined having a blog! Yet here it is, And I'm so happy with it!
For me it is a perfect place to write down and capture some of the things that are filling my thoughts.

While making the blog (or rather, while watching Anne making my blog as she proved her eye for excellence and beauty again) I wanted it to have a good name. After brainstorming on it for a while I decided to wait until I found a fitting one. So, since the making was paused for a while, Anne and I wached this great movie about Moses called "The Prince of Egypt". What a exciting and inspirational movie! And than, listening to one of the beautifull songs in the film that Zippora's father sings to Moses, the name came.

The name is just a perfect expression of the longing and challenge in my life: to see through the eyes of heaven rather than my own eyes. As God radically changed my life I could have never imagened the great things He did in just a few years. Experiencing big changes in my life that did not line up with anything I thought or hoped for at that time, I in some degree learned too see them not through my eyes, but through the eyes of Heaven. As God teached me this along the way I kept being blown away more and more by the beauty, the power and the perfection of His bigger plan and purpose.
As we seek to see Gods view on things and respond to His invitation to come up and look through His eyes, we will find that there is something bigger that we are part of, and that there is always hope and future. As Paul writes in Romans: And we know that All things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Come up! See that we are called according to His purpose and that He will make all things work together for the good of those wo love Him. See that God  is calling you to be part of His bigger plan. As the song says: A single thread in a tapestry -Though its color brightly shine- can never see its purpose,In the pattern of the grand design. For us to see, we must look from above to the big picture. And ofcourse there will be difficulties and discouragements along the way, but as we lift ouselfs up we will always see that God is for us, for His people and He is always bigger than our circumstances.

So this is my challenge in life, and I want to Challenge everyone to rise above our own view on circumstances, and seek to see His grand design.

Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says The LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
