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.

Letting Go


I want to be the greatest,
Yet, You say, “become less”
You seek to fill me up with something better,
Welding a masterpiece out of broken mess.

But this is a big deal! …I don’t know where to begin,
This thought of losing self chills to the core,
A product of my pride and sin.

Yet something stirs and longs to be free,
to step back and give You the helm,
to sail into the ocean of  sweet liberty,
where in freedom and victory I’m happy to drown.

Safety beckons me to stay, to distrust the Captain and the ship,
But oh! Sweet sovereignty. Safety is too late—
God has moved in this heart and made it equipped.

So with an Anchor sure and steady, a moor to my vessel of hope,
Sailing into an expanse of unknowns—but ready,
To the open sea with my Beloved, I’ll elope.
