Perspective Matters


An Inkling
Here’s some good news:  Apple is updating its iOS system; the Koreas look like they may have talks; and RG3 reports that he’ll be ready to go for the Redskins as the season starts.
Here’s some bad news:  riots continue in Turkey; the Syrian conflict continues unabated; and a storm damages homes in Hanover County.
Here’s some news that gives perspective on all other news:  This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. (The Message translation of John 3:16)
Perspective matters when hearing news.  It matters for understanding what matters, and what lasts.
Thankfully what matters and lasts is the best news of all – which gives a whole new perspective.
Blessings,
