Problem or Perspective

Do you have problems, or is it just your perspective?


Not a week goes by that someone doesn't say to me "why don't you have any problems"? I answer them with "I just keep it in perspective".


Some of you may know that I spent almost a decade assigned to photograph the late Joseph Cardinal Bernardin during his ministry in Chicago. One of the things he often told people is 'if what you're looking at will make a positive difference ten years from now then do something about it, but if not then put it into God's hands'.


This is one of the many lessons that I learned from him. Many times my problems become my own because I see it though my eyes, through my needs, through my world view. When I switch my viewpoint to how does it serve others before myself, then I ask God to help me see the situation through His eyes.


Lets face it, we live in a war torn world. We see many problems around us every day. The real problem I see is that us human's try to do everything on our own, without any thought about how God sees it or our part in God's plan for each situation.


I believe that God uses people to fulfill His work and plans for this world ... many times we get in the way with our own agenda.


I pray that, after reading this, you view your life as an instrument of God's love and plan for this world. You were born to make a positive difference in this world through your unique talents and abilities. Let God use them.


It's all in your perspective.


Enjoy your day!

Frank
