People are not...perfect, merely human!
Seeing the beauty in others and being continuously grateful for the blessings of life may appear to some as 'living in a rose~tinted world, living in la~la~land, being out of touch with reality etc.'.
I am fully aware of errors, mistakes, wrong choices etc. that I make, that my family and friends make as well. Sometime lives appear 'out of control' from my point of view but you see I don't have the 'full view' that God does.
This is where 'faith' is required in order to be a success as a 'human being'!
My job is looking for the beauty, loving at all costs, forgiving no matter who did the 'wrong', and enjoying the time on earth with those I love.
1 Samuel 16:7 says it perfectly....
"God does not see the same way people see. People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart."
I am so glad He does because He can see when my heart is 'pure' and when it gets 'contaminated' with the 'crap' of life and interferes with a true vision of others....
My God will allow me to see others, as He sees them, IF .....I look for beauty, love at all costs, forgive no matter what and......think right as He says thru Paul in
(Phillipians 4:8) ......."Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable ~ if anything is excellent or praiseworthy ~~~think about such things."
.....As A Man Thinketh...so is he! 'Tis true of a woman or child as well!
