When you think of the word color what do you think of? Honestly what comes to mind when you think of the word “colors”? What colors did you see? Could you feel it? Or taste it? “Producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.” That's the definition of colors. It produces sensation, which is the mind's way of reacting to something that is of interest or exciting.

Growing up life was very black and white, not skin colors, but life was very, do this, don’t do that, or act like this, don't act like that. I was ‘raised’ to be a good person, but I was not seeing life in full color like I was CREATED to do. I was living a life filled with contentment. Being easily satisfied with mediocrity. I wasn’t living at all, I was just going through the motions, trying to make it to the next day. I lived that way for approximately 19 years of my life, (I’m 20 years old and I just turned 20 in December.)

See life is more than just black and white, there is a plethora of colors everywhere you look. We miss it every day we miss the beauty in life by looking at it so closed minded and believing that this is what life is supposed to be like just black and white. Thats a lie and a false hood we’ve (I’ve) got to stop believing. Life is filled with so much joy and peace but we miss it all the time by being so caught up in our own crap that we miss the miracles that are happening every day. What if I told you that you could miss the blessing you've been waiting to come to pass because you've chosen to look at life through your own eyes with your own spectacles focusing too much on the little things and not seeing the big picture? Too often we miss out on what God has for us because we think we know what is best for ourselves. I can't even begin to tell you how I really don’t know what is best for me, what’s best for me doesn’t come from myself, it comes from He who created me. I have truly tasted and seen the goodness that is God. I can confidently tell you that now I am seeing in perfect colors, life isn’t black and white anymore he wiped away all the dullness that was my old life, gave me a fresh pair of eyes that can see life the way it was meant to be seen, something to be cherished, loved, and lived abundantly. The old ways of life I was used to living, and thinking are no more, I struggle but through those struggles I am able to see God in it, and He is the definition of colors giving this sensation that I can’t even begin to explain. The color He brings into my life each day is captivating. Life is more than just black and white its filled with colors.
