Perception is a remarkable thing. Our perceptions are flavored by what is going on in our lives (good or bad), by what is important to us, by circumstances and events, and by a host of other factors. If you buy a new car, you will suddenly see cars just like it wherever you go. Your perception has changed and you find yourself looking for cars similar to yours, perhaps because you want assurance that you made a good choice.
If you've had a great experience at a seminar or conference, you're going to be on the lookout for others who have experienced the same thing.
What you set your heart and mind on affects how you see the world around you. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things," Paul said. A pastor in Kentucky tells of how one of his parishioners often complained to others in the church about the pastor's sermons. But when this young man had a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ, he was amazed at how much better his pastor's sermons had become.
