Our ‘seeing’ eyes are not our glasses, but rather a lens which we focus past our heart into the deepest part of our soul.
It is here that we determine how we see the world and how we see God. How we look at the world can often decide as to how the world sees us. Seeing the world though a rose-tinted lens requires that we decide which stage of the rose’s blossom we focus on. We can see the colour and light, or we can see the dried and shrivelled petals waiting for the slightest breeze to sever them from the plant.
If I see a negative and dead flower, do I not condemn the world around me and my faith to being the same?
Seeing a rose in full bloom reflects the vision of His whispers in the wilderness for a world that needs to be dug and weeded, pruned, cared for, and then harvested for His Glory!
We will always see the specks of dust, rather leave them for the plants to use as part of their growing medium than let them blur the vision of what His creation was meant to be.
