One of comedian Flip Wilson’s famous lines was, “What you see is what you get!” Not necessarily so. What do you see in the picture below?
If you keep on looking, you will see Jesus. (If this interests you, try searching for “illusions” or something like that on your browser. Many different types of mysteries can be found there).
The point of this is that we should keep on looking, searching for something better than what we think we see. In life.
I like the song that was popular years ago, “Look for the silver lining.” The last line of the song urges us to “try to stay on the sunny side of life.” *
This is Biblical. Remember this verse from the Apostle Paul: “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things” (Philippians 4:8 NIV).
We can get into the habit of looking for the good in life.
* Click here to see all the words of this song and hear Judy Garland sing it–in fact, if you like, here you can see the whole movie (Till the Clouds Roll By).
(“Till the Clouds Roll By” is a light bio-pic of American Broadway pioneer Jerome Kern, featuring renditions of the famous songs from his musical plays by contemporary stage artists, including a condensed production of his most famous: ‘Showboat’.) (IMDB).
