An adventurous and self-confident man, named Ewen Me, had heard about a new challenge that few were able to conquer. Being the competitive and prideful man that he was, he opted to take on the task. The challenge turned out to be a large maze with high walls that had only one way to get in and only one way to get out. He listened to the owner of the maze provide some brief instructions and tips on how to get through the maze. Ewen noticed a hint of despair from the owner of the maze as he told him how few people have made it through to the end. Ewen, always the confident person in his own abilities, was determined to prove he could make it through to the other side. As he entered the maze, he noticed a small kiosk. The sign on the kiosk said, “Glasses for the blind.” Ewen thought to himself, “What is this? Is this a joke?” He dismissed the kiosk and proceeded into the maze. He was taken aback at the height of the walls and noticed the light was dimming as he kept going. It wasn’t long before Ewen started getting frustrated. He couldn’t believe how little progress he was making on his own. Worse, he ran into another one of the kiosks offering glasses for the blind. He saw this as both an insult to his intelligence and a tasteless display of the owner thinking a blind person would actually participate in a challenge this difficult. After about an hour of wandering and getting nowhere, Ewen found himself back where he started. Trying to decide if he was just frustrated or feeling somewhat humbled, he noticed the owner standing at the beginning as if he was expecting Ewen. “This is impossible!” Ewen snorted at the owner. “I warned you it was not easy - not a lot of people make it all the way through. Have you tried the glasses?” Ewen snapped back, “Of course not! I can see, so why would I need glasses for the blind? And, what’s up with that, anyway? Why would a blind person have any more success a seeing person like me? Kind of feels like a bad joke and mean spirited.” The owner just smiled at Ewen, seemingly amused by his attitude and accusations. Ewen looked down and thought to himself, “I know I can do this – I don’t fail.” So, he went back into the maze again letting out a sniff of disgust as he bypassed the kiosk. Thirty minutes later, he once again found himself lost with the only thing he recognized was another of those ridiculous kiosks. He found his way back to the beginning – this time starting to realize he could not complete the challenge on his own. Again, the owner was waiting for him. Picking up on Ewen’s humbled countenance, the owner looked deeply into his eyes and said with soft voice, “Try the glasses.” Ewen shot back, “I’m not blind, pal.” The owner continued his fixed look on Ewen and said with some playful snark in his voice, “Could you do any worse than you have already?” Wanting to quickly respond, something got him to hold his tongue and found a voice saying to him, “He has a point.” Ewen sensed the depth and concern in the owner’s look on his face. He grumbled to himself, “What have I got to lose?” He went to the kiosk at the opening and saw an unfamiliar logo for the brand on glasses’ frames. It was “GP.” Ewen looked back at the owner, “How much?” The owner simply said, “My treat.” Ewen reluctantly put on the GP glasses and was taken aback about how quickly and differently things looked. Things were brighter and clearer. He began to step forward into the maze, and it wasn’t long before he saw a sign on the wall he had not seen before. It said, “Turn left.” In amazement, Ewen complied with a left turn and kept slowly moving forward. It wasn’t long before he saw another sign on the wall that said, “Turn right.” Ewen thought to himself, “What is it with these GP glasses?” He started to realize he was making more progress with the glasses on than he had by himself. He felt the pressure coming from his self-confidence subside and experienced a peace that as long as he kept the GP glasses on, he was going in the right direction. Eventually, following the multiple signs throughout the maze, Ewen made to the other end. He was surprised to find the owner waiting for him – as if he was so sure Ewen would find his way out of the maze. The owner hugged him and told him, “Well done.” “Thank you.” Ewen said. “These glasses are incredible, but I don’t understand how I could see the signs with them, but not on my own. Who put those signs up?” “I did.” The owner said and continued, “They are my words.” “But what is it with these GP glasses?” Ewen asked almost exasperatingly. The owner, with a smile on his face, said, “Take a look at the full name on the frames.” Ewen took off the glasses and looked at the arms of the glasses and read “God’s Perspective.” Ewen felt the self-confident air exit his body as it was replaced with a new air of humility and revelation of something greater than him. Lost for words, he looked at the owner with both tears and wonder in his eyes. “Ewen, if you’re willing to put those glasses back on, you’re going to find that you will never be alone moving through the maze of this life. I’m so very proud of you for your willingness to humble yourself and take that leap of faith to follow My words and direction. I can’t promise you that life will get any easier. In fact, it might very well get harder. However, as long as you keep the glasses on, you’ll realize I’m always with you and will lead you through the remaining maze of your life. I’ll also be waiting you with joy when you finish.” Ewen put the glasses on and realized the owner looked different with them on. He noticed the scars on the owner’s hands and a look of deep love on the owner’s face like he had never seen before. Everything he looked at was new, and he felt at peace and free from his self-confidence. This is the story of Ewen Me. I’m sure he would encourage you put on the owner’s GP glasses. You’ll be a-mazed.
