The Glass Illusion

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:2 N.I.V)

What do you see in the  picture above? Is it a duck or a rabbit? Perspective matters, and you should therefore take time to meditate on issues before you make a decision. Do not follow blindly what culture and the world around you teaches.

A story is told of a fly’s futile attempts to fly through a window pane. All its struggles to get outside were in vain and it died. This is despite an open door at the other end of the room it could have used. A transparent glass window can be compared to the values of the world which indulge fleshly desires like greed, selfish ambition and immorality. But no matter how much the struggle, they never satisfy and only lead to eternal condemnation.

We however do not need to struggle when the answer to life’s issues is clear; the door is always open. Through it you get love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

What we need is to be born again; to get a new, clear, and right perspective of life through the leadership and guidance of Christ.
