Seeing Deeply and Differently

**Before you begin reading, sit down, breathe normally and be quiet for 1 minute.**

    Slowing gives us the opportunity to see deeper. Slowing gives us the opportunity to see beyond the surface and into the true heart of a matter. This can be something that God might be doing in us and He wants us to see deeper. This might be something that God is wanting us to see in another so that we can encourage him or her.
    Slowing also gives us opportunity to see a different perspective. In slowing we look at the same person, situation or thing for much longer than if we were on our busy schedule. With slowing the longer gaze might bring forth a different perspective. This different perspective might increase our compassion or increase our love. This different perspective might lead us to live differently than we have been.
    Slowing gives us opportunity to see deeper and differently. What might God want you to see deeper today? Who or what might God want you to see differently today?


**Sit quietly again for as much time as is available to you.**
