How do we see with new eyes?
See short video here, or read on…
Around 1970 my parents bought some new dining room chairs. They were covered with vinyl and had an abstract pattern printed on them. For a long time, I sat in those chairs and looked at those chairs every day. Flowers. That’s what I saw. There were flowers printed on those chairs.
Then one day an amazing thing happened. I was looking at the chair and realized that I wasn’t looking at flowers. I was looking at cows. The pattern was pictures of cows.
What happened?
I experienced a paradigm shift. I saw the same thing a different way, and now I could never go back to seeing flowers again. From that point on, the chairs were covered with cows.
Paradigm shifts empower us to see the reality that was previously hidden from our eyes. God wants to use paradigm shifts to enable us to see everything through His eyes.
When we see ourselves, our world, our lives, our God through the eyes of Jesus, everything changes.
I once had the experience of walking through a restaurant and feeling the love God had for each person in that restaurant. It was amazing, almost overpoweering. Of course, I didn’t say or do anything weird, but it just gave me a whole new perspective on people around me.
