Vision

We hear a lot of talk about vision. But not a lot of articulation of clear vision.

Vision is what you WANT to do, not just what you THINK should be done.

You can have thousands of grand ideas, but you can only really activate a few core desires of the heart.

I’ve often said: The accomplishment of the smallest good deed is far more valuable than the grandest intention never accomplished.

Jesus told about two men: one said “Yes” to a request; then didn’t do it. Another said “No” to a request; then later recanted and did what was asked. Which was better? The obvious answer is the one who ultimately acted on the right impulse.

I can give an immediate yes to a request, then try to wiggle out of it. But I’m FAR better off hesitating on making a commitment so I can think and pray about it.
