What About Them?

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
~Ecclesiastes 11:5
 

The world is made up of some pretty amazing people. All around the world there are men, women, boys, and girls doing some incredible things-living above the odds and taken on some monumental feats. As spectators we look at these people wondering were we can improve or maybe at least touch a small portion of what they have taken a hold of. Some of us have enough on our plates, some of us want more, some of us are trying to push off our plate what has been allotted to us, but no matter our position we still are amazing. Why? Because God created us.  
 
Often times we can look at life through such a small glass when we try to define it and its quality. We can even lose our peripheral vision not even spotting the lives that are around us. This is a huge problem, one that needs to be worked on consistently in order not to push people out of the way because of our limited vision.We should always be careful not to assume that other's see us so they should move, for if our vision is limited what does it say about others? We must not forget there are those who are completely dependent on others for everything. Like a fetus or infant, most young and older adults need assistance in the same manner. When we think of great achievement we tend to think of the caregiver. Do we ever think of the life that needs to be cared for? What about them? Is the fetus or infant not as important as the parents? Are the mentally or physically challenged not achievers in their own right?
 
When we convince ourselves that a life that does not contribute is not life at all, we have just found ourselves living dead smack in a warped zone.Every life has purpose, every life achieves something great in it's time, whether it's broadcasted or not. Every life brings elements to our lives that would not have transpired in otherway. Every life contributes something of value to our society in some capacity.  Life is not brought forth for us to decide the quality of it, but to value it and cherish it in all of its many forms. What we may consider a burden can be a time of great relief as we learn to see broader and deeper into the lives that are all around us. It may hurt many of us to be stretched to this capacity, but what about them?  How do they feel? How do they relate to pain? We can't bypass these real and serious questions. They must be asked, they must be remedied in a way that brings healing. As long as we live life in a place that carries our own view we will have to ask the question-what about them?


Father, our wonderful Creator, thank You for changing our vision to see life the way you see it-precious, valulable, and simply amazing.  Up to now we have not been the best at sharing and sacrifising, so we are asking for Your forgiviness. We confess our lives have been lived with a limited vision and if any one can broaden that vision it is You.  Streatch us Yahwah, make us to behold others in a way that brings new life and restoration no matter the state. You know how to relate to Your creation better then we ever will be, show us how to make a difference with those You have placed in our proximity.  For Your honor, for Your praise, and for their liberity.  In Jesus name, Amen.
