Living Intentionally: Reflecting on Perspective

The new year has begun and our routines are beginning to take shape. The challenge before us, now that the holiday happenings are in the past and the long stride to spring lays out before us, is whether we will live this year, this season, this day intentionally? Will we simply let each passing moment flit from today to tomorrow, not paying attention to the opportunities before us, inviting and beckoning us to make a difference in this world.

Ephesians 5:16
…make the most of every opportunity…

A few weeks ago, I offered this thought:

Even though the calendar and the clock do not dictate life change, there is something to be said about the refreshing and exhilarating feeling of a brand new year. The messy scribbles on our calendars can be tossed away. A fresh page invites a new perspective and an opportunity to live differently. To live intentionally. On purpose. With passion. Because in Christ, we can.

We may not be able to change the circumstances of our lives, but we can certainly shift our thinking about trials and blessings into an eternal focus. We have the ability to live different through reshaping our perspective.

And now I lay before you a challenge:

What is the new perspective God has whispered into your heart for this year that is upon us?

How are you implementing that perspective into your daily routine?

If you could see into 2013, what do you hope you will have learned in 2012 about this new perspective?
