A gospel reset

There’s a notion and thought

When my perspective gets skewed

When abundance distracts my focus

When my sight goes dark

When the way becomes bleak

When my view of God is lost

When all I can see is failure

When pain is a way of life

When disappointments hurt lingers long

When all I see rushes at me

Like a tidal wave of brokenness

A gospel reset

When my view of the world

Is missing hope, joy, and peace

What is needed is not some new solution

What is needed is not the correction of all that is wrong

What is needed is not the cessation of all pain

What is needed is

A gospel reset

All the world is meant to be seen

Through blood washed eyes

In a shade of crimson red

Pain, sorrow, disappointment and failure

All look different when viewed

With a crucified Savior in view

Abundance and blessing take their proper place

When brought to knee before a cross

The gospel

Not just for sinners

Also for saints

When our perspective and view gets derailed

A gospel reset

Will bring our view back into focus

And set our heart straight.

Colossians 3:1–4 (ESV): 3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
