Your perception of things



It seems to be that your perception of things is never quite right. Through the process of thought, pretty much everything gets distorted to one degree or another. Like how your work college or spouse will react to a particular issue. Certain issues become much bigger in your mind, but when they actually play out in reality, it's different to what you expected, and not a big deal.

Other issues are perceived smaller. Maybe our perception of sin and particular habits become too small in our minds. They're placed to one side, when really they have a far greater influence in our lives than we would like to admit.

This all leads to a question –  do we ever perceive things clearly, as they actually are? Or are we always off?

Perhaps your mind and your patterns of thought is like a lens that distorts. And perhaps the written word of God is like a lens that corrects. We only see things as they are when we come back to the bible.
