Vision is from God. His Word reveals His Way. He desires to help me, not to hurt me. When I follow His Light, I find His presence and His happiness in a dark and lonely world. The healed blind man in The Bible could not have said it better, "I once was blind, but now I see."
The church is still God's Vision Center on earth. A single candle can penetrate the darkness, but gathered candle power is greater than the sum of the parts.
NOTE TO SELF: Crises can snap your candle in two. The relentless voice of evil always lies and tells you that you are no longer of any use to God. Don't believe the lie. God will light you up at both ends. You will always shine brighter at the broken places of your heart.
TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
