Jojo's Musing - Perceptions
I was typing out a long "deep" post, but realized a lot of it would be fluff. So, get to the point JoAnne. ASAP. This weekend there have been a few things that have made me think about perceptions more than I usually do. Basically, this weekend I was just really struck with how everyone has just, so many filters that information is processed through. Two people may see the exact same thing, but because each person has different filters the information go through, different things will stick out to them and both will remember different facts. Which then got me thinking about which filters I consciously use to filter the information I receive through the day - and realized that unless the ultimate filter is the word of God, my perception will always be tilted. And I need to encourage those around me to filter their information through the word of God as well. Not necessarily so that we always agree, but so that our perceptions will be more on par with God's. My prayer is that I take off whatever tinted glasses I've been wearing, and instead sift all information through the truth of the Word. And let the truth work and change me as needed.
