Limited Vision

   Last evening, we went down to the Pier area of our island and found an interesting shot...

   Not knowing how the light was going to affect the shot, I took a bunch of snaps. After putting them in the computer this morning, I found that some were OK.

   Then I thought, what if I only had the shot above, what would I be able to tell about the subject. It was an interesting picture, but what did I really know from looking at it, except that it was mostly black and white. Some information was there, but I needed a larger perspective to really know.

   I am the same way when it comes to my life. I can see a small part of any picture, but my limited vision keeps me from the knowing the whole story. Even if I take a slice from my past, I can see more from my hindsight, but still the ripples from any particular encounter or event are out of my line of sight.

   It just reminds me to take the things that I see with my eyes, hear with my ears, or feel with my heart with a knowledge that says "you can't see the whole picture". I can't even be sure of what I do see. It is only my limited perspective on any image out there.

   God has the big picture in view, I only have my individual frame.

   Trust His heart even when I can't see.

   There is that word again....TRUST

   And what was that thing that I saw last evening at the Pier Village? Easier to know now.
