What He Has Done

Tonight I stared at my computer screen for the thousandth time looking at something that I created. As a designer, this is an nearly hourly occurrence: a goal comes across my desk and I set to work with the skill set that the Master Creator instilled in me to work every angle, feeding off of every creative rabbit trail, until I come to the point I was at tonight. The point when all the tweaking is done; where I pause, zoom out so I can see the entire canvas, sit back, and look it over. It rarely bares any resemblance to what I set out to create, and chances are it will change a half a dozen more times before it is finalized, but in that moment I pause. And tonight it struck me. The finiteness of the process that I just described, collided with the eternal story of which today is but a wink. The immensity of what He has done and is doing, gave perspective to the temporal creation on the screen before me. While my days are consumed by my human creations: my plans, job, schedule, appearance... I realized my desperate need to take more moments to pause, sit back, zoom out so I can get heavenly perspective, and see what He has done.
