"The Vision continued

So how do you know what your vision is if are not sure what it is?   Now before I go any further I am a believer in God that is not insignificant because if you do not believe in God or even spiritual this will not be possible.   Some people think prayer is a waste of time because they think God has already planned everything so I am going to just confess sins and hope I do not go to hell.   I hate to be that blunt but I think it is true.   That is not what God wants from us he wants us to have a relationship with him.    I had someone ask me what that means a “relationship with God?   Here is what I think it means: we were all created in God’s image which means we all have yarning to stay in constant connect with God communicating with him.   Which also means telling God when we are mad at him confused anything.   God can handle it all.   One of the biggest problems people make such a big deal out of prayer they say I do not even know where to start.   Or they think God does not want to hear from me that is why he is up in heaven to help all of us and I do mean all of us.   This is not just a select few God loves all us even when we turn our back on him he wants us to come back to him.   God wants us to turn away from our sin.   This is just my own interruption what I am about to say: turning away from sin does not mean living a perfect life and at hearing to a perfect life that no one can at hear.   God does not expect us to be perfect he wants us to live our lives shine our lights and not hide them which means making mistakes.   God expects one thing from all of us obedience which means not living a perfect life but keeping things in prospective.    Also and this is an important designation that needs to be made God never expects us to figure anything out about our lives.   The bible does not say anything about figuring out nothing.   Show me in the bible where it says figure anything out.    Which is challenging for me being a recovering control freak.    If you are not trying to grow in your faith something is wrong and you must go back and reassess your priorities.    That means asking your friends or family whoever for help.   I am never too ashamed to ask for help and I hope someone would ask me for help when they need it.   But most of the time I am not sure how to be specific when asking for help.   So just take that step you will be surprised by the reaction.   I heard about many teenagers and young people committing suicide the main reason is hopelessness.   How could that be because these individuals were young how could they lose hope?   These young people may not have had hope to begin that is the real tragedy!   There is so much hopelessness out there.   There is so much cynicism out there even from those closest to you that is the real sad part.   Most of the time those closest   to us think they are protecting us because they think they are being “realistic”.    I got so sick and tired of people saying to me I am just being realistic.   I heard that so many times I stopped saying anything.   They just cannot see the vision or the coming attraction that God has for you that is the real problem.   If you think you have a lot of time to mess around before you die you are wrong because time just keeps getting shorter and shorter. “Write the vision and make it plain upon tablets that may that readeith it.  Habakkuk 2/2.     In other words: the vision is made plain so if they read it will run to it.    Look I am not sure if vision boards and the like work but most successful people will tell you they work or that is how they started getting a clearer vision of what they want.   It is very complicated to answer the question of what do you want?   “The one who don’t do anything are the ones who always try to bring you down” Henry Rollins.   That could be those that are closest to us being “realistic again.   That does not mean that they do not love and care about you that is why they are being “realistic” but in your mind they are just bringing you down.   Have you ever noticed that it is easier to break something a part then to build it up?   I am not suggesting that you should not have anything to do with those closest to you but maybe do not bring up your vision with them because remember they still love you and want the best for you.   This vision you have should not destroy the relationship with your family the vision you have should be there to help you not to harm you.   If it is harming that may not be from God so know the difference.   That vision should be there to help guide you and to help you live a more satisfying life.   Did you know God did not make any of us to live stagnant lives?   There are people out there who think life is just a serious of events that just happened to them   I sure do pity them!   I am not one of those Christians who believes that everything turns out for the best or thinks everything happens for a reason.   I do not think I would be a good comforter not because I do not care but for this reason alone they would ask me questions that I would not have the answer.   Laura Baron suggested sharing your vision you have with a stranger because they may see something in your vision that you do not.   “If you think you have a 100 years to mess around you’re wrong”.   Henry Rollins.
