"Yes, losing one's vision."

"Helen Keller was once asked if there was anything worse than losing one's sight. She responded, "Yes, losing one's vision."."
How powerful is that quote? It’s from a woman who was born deaf and dump (couldn’t speak) and blind, she learned how to speak without ever hearing her voice.
We have all seen people in this horrible state, (loss of vision) and it’s almost as if, this is the place they want to live and stay. We’ve noticed something else also, that when they walk into a room of people, all the life seems to be sucked out of the room. We call these type, energy swippers not energy givers. It’s hard to be around them for very long, because it becomes all about them.
Please don’t get us wrong, we all go through this (loss of vision) from time to time, but we just don’t choose to stay there, and that’s the difference. We’re not victims, we are victors.
The challenge seems to be, we become circumstantially possessed.
The enemy will throw all kinds of things and strategies our way to get us off track, (from doing what God has called us to do). These will be seemingly good things, and maybe even, important things that need to be accomplished, but there not the best thing that God had in mind for us to be doing, at this time.
What happens is that these small projects, that weren’t going to take very long, take over our time, resources, energy and soon cloud our vision, for what God has called us really to be doing.
We have to learn gracefully how to say no, which is really hard for those of us with a servant’s heart, but something we need to learn how to do, or the enemy will abuse us with good things to do.
Get back on track and watch your vision come roaring back, then commit to really hearing the Lord, for those seemingly good opportunities that come your way. Pray about them and come into agreement about even the smallest of things.
God has much for us to be doing for marriages and families in these days to come. Revisit the call (vision) that God has put on your life and “Just Do It” as Nike says, (and by the way so does God).
