Lockdown 375

Lockdown Day 375 - 5 April 2021

Yesterday we celebrated the life we received through the life Christ gave. We had a family dinner, missing everyone in our families that are not with us.

Zooming out of our lives as humans to view our current situations in perspective, the abominable virus really looks small to God in comparison. In perspective, everything on earth is His.

This mere fact raises the question of how the world got everyone to zoom in on such a small thing, causing us all to lose perspective and the world to completely blow this out of proportion.

Although I don't have the answer, I do have God. And every time I find myself in a negative mindset over a little thing, I zoom out and remember He is bigger than all of this.

He is the source of everything, also the joy in my heart when I don't have any reason for it.

One of the characters in The Merry Wives of Windsor of Shakespeare said, “Why, then, the world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.” Chris Gardner later coined the new phrase, "The world is your oyster, it's up to you to find the pearls."

How true these quotes are. The world is indeed our oyster, but we need to actually believe we can pick it up, open it with a little pressure and force, so we can extract the pearls that are hidden within.

In my own lingo: nothing comes easily, but if you keep on pressing in, you will find your pearl. Your pearl can be joy, hope, love, providence, peace. Your pearl is made just for you from Him because He knows you and what you need the best. Just never ever give up on God. Because He will never ever give up on you. He's got you. And He's got this.
