Our focal point matters. How we see our lives, the environment around us, the ones that may be close to us and some that are farther away. In all of this our lens must be on a prescription that allows us to see clearly at all times. When there is any slight mark or bruise on our lens, things come into question as to if we are in fact seeing correctly. Daily we look around at the world around us observing, watching, memorizing and moving. We do all of these things without any question in our mind because of the habitual practice. Imagine we saw our selves and our lives as victorious, as an overcomer, as beautiful and full of substance and light. Imagine what kind of colors we would capture…..what kind of view we would behold.
Your perception of a thing can determine every subtle detail and moment that follows. It can make or break how you choose to step into new things that may come. Similar to when we are trying to rub off a smudge on our glasses or a scratch that just wont clear up. These are the subtle moments that we can either choose to move into our next in life or stay where we are. These smudges should in fact only further prove our ability in our strength to continue to fix our gaze where we are looking towards in the steps of becoming. A choice many over look at times that can be the defining factor that changes your life forever. There are so many layers in perception. How we perceive things and then the actual reality of it. In each phase and moment we pass through once the storm has finally settled, it defines how we see tests and victories. If we chose to look back at our past only to respond in a language that is not relevant to where we are going, we can easily set ourselves back. But when our language falls in alignment with our future the scratch and smudge has now transformed as a propeller into purpose and destiny full speed ahead.
Behold: To perceive through sight or apprehension, to see, to gaze upon.
The word perceive in this definition means: to become aware of or conscious, come to realize or understand. When I behold something there is a new found awareness that drops in my gaze and keeps my eyes fixed on whatever is in my focal point. This understanding in the blemish or scratch will allow me to see in ways that was once blocked due to my limited view. But when I choose to see in the lens of beholding, an unlocking occurs. A new page is turned and I am left with the multitude of colors and canvases to both study and discover now with this understanding tucked away in my conscious. Imagine if we saw things in this life and what may come in the lens of beholding. Imagine how much more we would receive from this posture of sight that remains fixed no matter what angle is presented. The adaptability to always be able to shift with the moment into movement because we have understanding that it is only a temporary situation for a permanent breakthrough on a series.
So after reading this I hope you take the time to sit and think about this lens of beholding. Envelop yourself in this new way of processing information and see the journey it takes you on. Make sure to buckle your seat belt for the ride because I promise you, it’s going to be worth it!
Forever In Faith. Forever In Motion.
