Perspective

I keep coming back to this idea, courtesy of Tolkien that how we see the world, colors everything. 

I love how he describes that they had a chance at destroying the ring..becasue the idea would never enter Sauron's mind...

CS Lewis plays with the idea as well, both as Aslan takes Edmund's place but also in Screwtape where the main characters find it impossible to understand love.. especially unconditional giving of oneself..

For me it describes how Jesus managed to get His enemies to put him on the Cross, for the greatest surest victory ever imaginable.

In the last few months mind games have coloured my world, shaken my perspective, shaken what was good and beautiful and true...

Time to refocus, time to remember.
 

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8-9 ESV)
