Perspective: the art of drawing solid objects on a two-dimensional surface so as to give the right impression of their height, width, depth, and position in relation to each other when viewed from a particular point; particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view; true understanding of the relative importance of things; a sense of proportion.

I named this blog Perspectives, because I think it might just be what God is growing in me. Slowly but surely, giving me a correct understanding of myself, and by His sweet grace, shifting my perspective away from the slavery of self onto the beauty of Jesus. I hope to have a “true understanding of the relative importance of things”—a right perspective...to find that place of freedom. These posts will hopefully all point back to gaining a truer and better perspective.

Isaiah 64:8

Spinning, swirling, spiraling,
Upon wheel of Perfect Design,
We are the clay in the Potter’s hands,
His magnum opus placed down into time.

Herculean Hands craft this heap,
Exhaling our contours and shape,
The Artist’s divine intention for this dirt,
Glory reflected in that which was made.

Mind and heart connect as we revolve,
Father’s excitement at mortar’s form,
Discipline and wisdom in the oven’s heat,
Mud made masterpiece—we are born.
