Quotes about Perspective

Your thoughts about your circumstances have you down. On the other hand, you can be in one of the biggest battles of your life, and still be filled with joy and peace and victory - if you simply learn how to choose the right thought. It's time to think about what you're thinking about.

What you keep before your eyes will affect you.

Too often we judge people based on our own backgrounds and experiences, but when you understand people's stories, it's easier to understand their demeanor.

Keep the right perspective Some people would love to have your problems. They would gladly trade places with you. They would love to have the job that frustrates you. They would love to sit in traffic in that car you don't like. They would love to have your husband, who gets on your nerves. They would love to live in the house you think is too small.

Pay attention to what you're saying. Are you blessing your life? Or are you cursing it?

Don't talk about the size of your problem. Talk about the size of your God.

Too often we don't realize how great we have it until something is taken away.

Whatever you're facing, it is under your feet. It is not permanent. It's temporary. The power that is for you is greater than any power that comes against you. Keep the right perspective. You and God are a majority. You are armed and dangerous. The problem may have formed, but it is not going to prosper.

There's a lot that is good in your life — don't take it for granted. Don't get so focused on the struggles that you miss the GIFT of today.

Instead of considering how big your obstacle is, why don't you start considering how big your God is. He spoke worlds into existence; He flung stars into space. He can make things happen that you could never make happen.

If you are going to magnify something, don't magnify your problems; magnify your God. Talk about His greatness, talk about His favour.
