More Than Meets the Eye

“Sometimes it takes us having to look through the morass of life

in order to find the daily gems that are hidden.”

Alism

Morass is used figuratively to mean “a difficult or troublesome situation”[i].  There are seasons in each of our lives that are so overwhelming that we may at times become uncertain if we will ever be free of the power of its entanglement. 

            To look through is to see from one side to the other.  Having the vision to look beyond the morass of the present and embrace the potential of the future is one of the core characteristics of a champion.  However, the challenge for most of us who may consider ourselves champions is not only having the vision to look through, but also the willingness to acknowledge and embrace the valuable lessons, opportunities, and gifts of life that are available to us on a daily basis. 

            In every season, and challenge of life ask yourself, what am I to learn?  What invaluable quality is being fortified in me that no other situation could foster?  What is right in the midst of all that is wrong?  This line of questioning forces the champion in you to see the facts in every circumstance, situation and dilemma and still discover and uncover the Truth.  The gems you uncover in the midst of the morass are The Truths that’s needed to prepare and propel you to your next level of growth and increase.  It is through the final process of polishing those hidden gems of Truth that you will begin to truly shine.  Are you ready to start looking beyond what you initially see?  

Aim High…
