Who Am I? I Am Choosing His Perspective.

When we see a photo image, we are looking at a 2-dimensional representation of a real 3-dimensional scene. And, that is what photography is all about – capturing a 3D scene onto a 2D image. I used to wonder how do photographers demonstrate “depth” or sense of “scale” in a (good) photograph. They use the concept of Perspective.

In photography, powerful compositions can be created by applying the concepts of perspective, effectively converting a 3D scene into a 2D image.
The same is true with how we choose to walk each and everyday through situations and circumstances, beyond our shortcomings and our mistakes,  going around the obstacles and hindrances in our daily path or moving the obstacles and hindrances out of our daily path.  As believers we have the opportunity to choose the perspective in which we walk each and everyday.

First, the day Jesus died on the cross, he paid the price for you and your sins.  When he rose again in heaven and we were sealed with the Holy Spirit, he gave us all the authority we need in His name to choose:  "...I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life..." (Deuteronomy 30: 15, 19)

There are really only two perspectives.  Do you choose to walk in that which Jesus has provided you, a child of God (Abundant life - John 10:10)?  Or, do you choose the life the enemy has laid out on this earth deceiving those who do not know who they are in Christ Jesus (the thief came to kill, steal, and destroy - John 10:10)?  

One can see when a photographer has an understanding the depth is created through perspective in an photo.  The same is true with the Word of God.  Through the perspective (the daily choices one chooses to make in their Christian walk) those around can see the resulting depth (spiritual maturity) develop.  

Simply put, the more a person knows His Word, the more a person can Walk in the LIGHT of that Word.  And this is reflected in every decision, great or small, a person makes everyday.  

Your perspective as a believer, will directly reflect to those around you, what is truly on the inside of you.  

Am I saying we do not make mistakes, or that these decisions are cookie cutter decisions for everyone?  No.  However, the Christ within you can only provide you LIFE and BLESSING if you choose to walk in it (Deuteronomy 28).  
Not walking in WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST JESUS is making the choice to walk in death and curse (Deuteronomy 28).
