Take a Step Back

Take a Step Back

If you are standing with your forehead against the trunk of a tree, how can you see clearly to the top? How can you see the entire tree when you are so focused and zeroed in on the bark of the tree?
If you want to see the entire tree, will you not have to step back and look from a distance that encompasses the entire tree? You will need to change your perspective. This is exactly what you need to do in your life.
I want to show you the bigger picture of what I have for you. I want you to see a perspective that you have yet to see. However, in order to do this, you are going to have to step back. Do not look so closely at what is right in front of you that you forget the bigger purpose of why you are walking this road.
Today, take a step back, my child, and remember why I called you. Lay down all the distractions, voices, fears, guilt, and obligation that is trying to confuse you. It is time to see more clearly and run this race with a greater vision, says the Lord.
