As I
took out my vision plan a few weeks ago, to see what needed to be tweaked (what
was working, what needed to be put on the shelf this season, what needed to be
modified, what needed to be completely removed), I thought of all the things
that I accomplished over this year. I also honed in on the things that
"I" thought that I was going to do, but for some reason or another,
they didn't get done.
"No
worries" I told myself. As I begin to look at what was planned into the
remainder of the year and what was to transpire the 1st quarter of 2014; God
gently spoke to me and said - "this is YOUR list dear. It is a good one,
but it is not a GREAT one, because it is not a GOD one."
TALK
ABOUT GIVING GOD A SCOOBY DOO LOOK!!
You see
- I just knew that God had a stamp of approval on some of the things I had
listed. But He then gently reminded me that He was too much of a gentleman to
stop me in my tracks, and that eventually I would realize that all the
preparation that I did, all the praying, all the decreeing and declaring, did
not amount to a hill of beans, because in fact - it was not in His plan at the
moment, and to be honest with you, some things were not in His plan, AT ALL.
SO....after
I cleared the lump out my throat, I took
off my Bridget Vision Glasses, and Put on my God Vision Glasses, and I will be
honest with you, it took a bit of getting used to, trying to adjust and focus
on what I was seeing. But now...OHHHH now...do I see ever so clearly.
I share
all of this to say...
Are you
OPEN to having your vision examined, and possibly repaired?
Often
times, as in the natural, we are in denial about how well we can
"see". For the most part we
tell ourselves we don't need glasses, even though we are starting to squint to
see that small font on paper, or move up closer ( or further away) to the TV to
get that picture perfect view. We want everything to appear that it is going ok
to everyone else, even though there are some hindrances that we choose to
downplay. But...when you have that business, that relationship, that ministry,
that weight loss goal, etc, that does not prosper, then you my friend, my want
to have your vision checked.
God is
the ultimate Optometrist and Ophthalmologist. He has and supplies everything
you need to get your vision in proper working order. He will not have you seeing double, He will
not have you going blind. It will be just perfect. Perfect for you to complete
that mission, that assignment, that goal that He has placed on your heart to
do. He will do it. Oh yes He will!!
On a 20/20 Vision Mission,
Bridget
