I want to look at everything and see it like I've never seen it before. I want to approach everything in life with excitement and an eagerness to love. I want my eyes to be filled with wonder. I don't want to miss a single detail of life because I looked at something like I've seen it a 100 times. When you look at something a 100 times, on the 101st time you just briefly glance. You miss the good stuff....the real stuff, the stuff that our hearts are craving to find. Yet we continue to crave it because we blind ourselves to beauty that's all around us. We will never see how wonderful God made this crazy life until we look at everything with wonder in our eyes.
This past weekend I was at a church retreat. Our whole theme for the weekend was to live a life without filters, to be real. We live in a filtered society. We try to cover up every ounce of ugliness and turn it into something beautiful. Truth is sometimes things are just ugly. We just need to accept that we are broken people that live in a broken world with broken relationships & broken perspectives. Brokenness does not need a filter to fix it, brokenness needs healing.
