He tried to look at Jesus but he was too short to see over the crowd. -Luke 19:3(NLT)
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you see life as Christ would see it?
Do you know his teachings and listen to his Spirit?
When you acknowledge your sin, you admit your littleness
It makes you see through the lens of his wisdom and greatness.
If you admit your weaknesses, God will lift you up
If you deny it, you will stagnate and not grow up
Take God’s viewpoint in everything you do
His perspective will make all things new.

In drawing, perspectives are very crucial. When you draw on the spot, it is important to just stay in one viewpoint or else, you will distort the finished work. This is why when you have a model, you only stay in one angle and ensure that the model doesn’t move as well. Looking at it in one perspective will make it work right, but seeing it from many angles will cloud your sight and your visual memory.
In Luke 19, we hear the story of Zaccheus, the chief tax collector in Jericho. He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a tree beside the road to get a better perspective. Jesus asked Zaccheus to make him guest in his home.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for showing me your view through your holy book.
REFLECTION
What viewpoint do you have of God that was contaminated by the world?
