Tracy rested her flushed face against the cool window.  It had been hours since she had left her warm bed to fight her way to the airport.  Finally, she sat on the plane, which was preparing to taxi onto the runway.

This trip, unlike many others, brought none of the familiar pleasure to her heart as the plane began to move...no vacation...no friend's wedding.  This trip was a somber one to visit her ailing father in a distant state.

Her father was sick; her husband was frustrated and angry as his company transformed to a younger, more "able" staff, and her teenage son was pushing to fit in with a group of students Tracy didn't care for.  Why was all of this taking place now?  Why Lord?  She had prayed!  She had always lived a life worthy of blessing and reward....or so she had thought.

As the plane slowly rose into the air, Tracy surveyed the land below her.  Dark and dreary under a cloudy, rainy sky, the entire landscape seemed to fit her mood.  Slowly, the plane began to break through the clouds, and she could no longer see the land below.  They seemed to be lost in a gray mist until they climbed on top of the clouds.  What a difference!  The dark, menacing clouds were transformed into soft white blankets.  The blue sky and sunshine were bright and unwavering on the other side.

Does life seem dark and dreary from your perspective?  Are you living beneath the dark clouds of depression or sadness?  Sadness....this feeling I know all too well.  I have never before hurt as much or as deeply, as I have since my husband's death.  But, God is always there, His love surrounding us, even in the darkest of times.

It's hard to see the light in the midst of the storm.  But remember, just beyond the cloud cover is an amazing sight.  God allows things to happen for a reason...we may not understand or even like it, but He has a plan, and His plans are always to our good.

Today, allow God to show you life "From His Perspective."  Trust Him in all things and open your heart to receive His plan and His vision for you.
