"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny!"
-C.S. Lewis
We all have trials and hardships. But when we are in those trying times, we don't always see the grand picture, the grand scheme of things. We don't always see the light at the end of the puzzle. We don't always see the destiny of our lives.
This quote reminds me of one of my favorite songs from "The Prince Of Egypt."
The song is called "In Heaven's Eyes"
A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shine
Can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design
And the stone that sits on the very top of the mountain's mighty face
Does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life, look at your life through heaven's eyes
A lake of gold in the desert sand is less than a cool fresh spring
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy is greater than the richest king
If a man lose ev'rything he owns, has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth?
So how do you measure the worth of a man? In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come, the answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes
And that's why we share all we have with you, though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing, there's a lot to go around
No life can escape being blown about by the winds of change and chance
And though you never know all the steps, you must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance
So how do you judge what a man is worth?
By what he builds or buys?
You can never see with your eyes on earth
Look through heaven's eyes
Look at your life, look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes
Can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design
And the stone that sits on the very top of the mountain's mighty face
Does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life, look at your life through heaven's eyes
A lake of gold in the desert sand is less than a cool fresh spring
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy is greater than the richest king
If a man lose ev'rything he owns, has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth?
So how do you measure the worth of a man? In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come, the answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes
And that's why we share all we have with you, though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing, there's a lot to go around
No life can escape being blown about by the winds of change and chance
And though you never know all the steps, you must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance
So how do you judge what a man is worth?
By what he builds or buys?
You can never see with your eyes on earth
Look through heaven's eyes
Look at your life, look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes
You won't always see the grand design, but we need to try to see ourselves through Heaven's eyes because though you may be in a struggling time, a trying time, at the end of this dark tunnel there is a light and you will realize that you were part of a great plan and from that hardship came a greater and better you.
Because you will be extraordinary and were being molded like a diamond for an extraordinary destiny.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!
Because you are worth it, and you are beautiful and you are being formed or were being formed and created for an extraordinary destiny.
I love you all and hope you realize how beautiful you are and how grand the rest of your life will be once you make it past this hardship!
LOVE,
KM
