Lady AEA

Recently I had the pleasure of taking a short flight. I thought this flight just may be cancelled because of all of the rain we were getting that morning. But as I talked with a fellow passenger who was familiar with this jet, she told me, “no worries, we fly above the rain.” It was there in that moment that I knew this would be a Holy Ghost guided ride.

You see, it’s more than a housewives of Atlanta song, more than a saying for your haters…it’s a perspective when you know Jesus!

As we took off into dreary rainy skies, it looked quite gloomy.

Then there came a moment when I saw nothing but white right outside my window. I couldn’t see a thing.

But then there came the moment when the plane leveled off and I looked out my window to see this…
Anyone who really knows me knows that I love, love, love clouds. I can’t wait to touch them one day :0) But it was there in that moment as I looked out and all I could see was peaceful clouds for days. The same clouds that were delivering tumultuous rains from the underside looked like puffy white cotton floating in midair when you flew above them.

No my friend, this isn’t just a picture story of me and the lovely clouds, it’s a heavenly perspective I want to share with you.

I don’y know what you are facing day to day in your life. It may be clear and blue skies for you, but for others it may be the storm of a lifetime. Storms of doubt, fear, financial lack, relationship droughts, it could be any kind of storm. And the rain of the situation may be beating against you something fierce. If so, I want you to take a journey with me. Let’s go for a flight. For what I want to show you can’t be seen from the ground, but only in the air.

From the ground, all you can see is one side. The side that hurts, that’s storming, that’s in total disarray. Seeing from this view can hurt you, sadden you and ultimately depress you. But God’s got a different perspective for you today. One closer to what He sees, and less of what you see.

He sees the view from above and He invites you to join Him for that view. It’s one where you see what really is, not just how it feels. You see blue skies, even though you hear a storm. You see sunshine even when you hear thunder and lightning. This heavenly view to your earthly situation lets you know what really is…beyond how it feels.

I just encourage you my friend to change your perspective. Be bold enough, brave enough and strong enough to hold your head up and stick your chest out and stretch out your arms and fly above. Fly above all the hurt, pain and even disdain…you dearly beloved, yes you…it’s time to fly above!
