Through Heaven’s Eyes
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."
- Jesus
Consider the power of a changed perspective. If Jesus is who He says He is, our greatest needs in life are already accounted for when we walk with Him, and we need not worry about them. We spend so much time obsessing over "wants" that don’t really matter, and we miss out on what truly marks a fulfilled life: living in relationship with the people we value most, and with God who so richly loves and desires connection with us.
In today’s society, we are told that our greatest fulfillment lies in the pursuit of our own ideals. Through our personal ambitions, successes, and pursuit of our goals. These things, however, are not the ultimate answer to a fulfilled life. Our best moments are meant to be shared in relationship with one another, with God, and in community with the people around us. We are a part of a greater purpose, a much larger plan.
I hope for you to consider: What would change in your life if every moment spent worrying was instead replaced with confidence that your needs will be met?
Through this powerful and emotive dance, our film will take audiences on a journey to discover what it means to value life from a eternal perspective.
Lyrics
A single thread in the tapestry, though its color brightly shine.
Could never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design.
And the stone that sits on the very top, of the mountains mighty face.
Does it think its more important, than the stones that form the base?
So how could you see what your life is worth? 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 shepard boy, is greater than the richest king.
If a man loses everything 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!
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!
