Missing the Big Picture

Life is not

In the day-to-day,

In the routine

In the monotony.



These are just details;

They amount to nothing

When you account

For eternity.



You’re staring at

A single dot on the page

When a masterpiece

Is before your eyes

If you dare to open them.



God is the artist

And He is painting you

Into situations daily

So you can be used

To further His glory.



Don’t discount

Even one person

For they were placed

In your path for a reason...



Whether it be to teach,

Preach, or reach.



Even those who

Cause you pain

Were placed there

So you can show them

The peace and joy

God gives you

Despite hard times.



Don’t let them

Pull you away

From the Light;

Instead you should

Be the one to

Direct them toward

The One who...



Heal all diseases,

Restores brokenness,

Removes depression,

Deal with all evils.



The Cure-All


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by John 7: 23-24: “You’re tied down to the mundane. I’m in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I’m living on other terms. I told you that you were missing God in all this. You’re at a dead end. If you won’t believe I am who I say I am, you’re at a dead end of sins. You’re missing God in your lives.” (Message version)
