Perspective

It seems our soul’s history with God oftentimes reflects the deaths of those most important to us. It is in those times of loss that we falter, become discouraged, give- up on life, become physically sick or brokenhearted. Instead we should turn full face to face and truly see the Lord! Sometimes God allows the void left by our loved ones to place Himself in the role they held in our life.  It is those with a sad past that need to be able to believe in a bright future. Have a vision about ourselves, our past, future and of God. It does not cost us anything to believe in hope. But also understand from where our hope comes. Some people are afraid to believe, or have a vision, out of fear of disappointment. Take an inventory of your priorities. Is God first, second, third, etc. in your life? No one, or thing, should take the place of Christ Jesus in your life. Once your priorities are inline, your vision becomes clear, hope becomes restored. Realize the ultimate price was paid on the cross. The price we pay to believe shows God we are willing to live up to the vision He has for our lives.
Where there is no vision (no redemptive revelation of God), the people perish; but he who keeps the law (of God, which includes that of man)-- blessed (happy, fortunate and enviable) is he. ~Proverbs 29:18
