Seeing what God sees

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

It was a fantastic job really, working as an assistant in a puppet workshop, surrounded by happy children and getting to play games with them.

Situated in the middle of a tourist attraction, the puppet workshop was a new venture for the company. And at first, we didn’t have too many customers. In fact, it wasn’t long before I became critical of the company’s financial approach.

On my third day, a busier day than most, after having a joyful time with the children, I came home and felt a heaviness descending on me. Within minutes, I’d gone from my cheery normal self to feeling miserable and irritable. I thought perhaps I’d just sleep it off. But when I woke up the next morning feeling the same way, I realized I needed to turn to God in prayer. So I asked God what I needed to know to break out of this mental cloud. I listened, and then a few clear spiritual ideas came to me.
