“Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.” (Colossians 3: 2, the Message Bible)

Let’s consciously choose the Christ-perspective. Let’s stop trudging along from gloom to gloom, plodding through challenges with an eye to just getting through the day.

Instead, let’s raise our heads and uplift our thinking. Let’s be, as Jesus was, expectant that each moment was alive with goodness, healing, progress, peace, and joy. Let’s take in the glory that is really at hand when we are awake to it.

Walking along with our heads down, thinking constantly of self and feeling the burden of such thinking, we miss the freedom of release—that surrender to the divine Life which leads us to new ideas, opportunities to be helpful and healing, and to ultimately realize what life is truly about.

We can see the good in one another. We can stop looking around with fear and paranoia, and instead engage with life and with others with trust, openness, an expectation to learn and grow, to give and to receive.

This is not merely passing the time. It is filling it with good which brightens our days, lightens our spirits, and gives us a reason to continue to look forward to each new dawn.
