in search of incredible

That is the slogan of Asus computers.   Every time I turn on my laptop, I see...in search of incredible.  It should be the slogan of my life.  I feel like I've spent my whole life in search of incredible.  Have you ever looked for something that's in plain sight and missed it?  That's what I've done in my quest for the incredible.  It's been there all along, but I haven't seen it, because my perspective is off.  Allow me to explain.

I've always wanted to do something that would make people say, "Wow!  Incredible!"  I have my own list of things that might count, and maybe I will actually accomplish a few of them someday. Until then, I still live an incredible life!  I'm learning to look at myself and my life from God's perspective, not from my own perspective or even what I think might be the perspective of other people.

God sees me and my life in the context of eternity.  Not in the context of what people think of me.  Not in the context of the amazing things other people do and post on Facebook.  Not in the context of my resume or my list of accomplishments.  I am so grateful that God doesn't see me the way I see me, in my human context.  God sees me in His context, living the life He has planned for me.

God sees me loving and worshiping Him.  God sees me being obedient to Him, even when no one else knows.  God sees me taking His love wherever I go and sharing it with the people in my life.  God hears me quietly praying throughout the day.  None of that seems particularly incredible from my human perspective, but the Bible says that God sees me (and you) as incredible! See Psalm 139:13-14 if you don't believe it.  In fact, the entire Bible is filled with the truth about how God sees us.  From His perspective, we are INCREDIBLE!  We need to stop searching for the incredible, and start seeking our incredible and loving Father God!
