“When there is no vision, people get out of control…” ~ Proverbs
29:18 (CEB)Several months have gone by since I have written a blog post. Somehow along the way I lost focus of my vision to encourage others through my life experiences and the words that God gives me daily. Distracted by the routine of my own journey, I allowed my vision to become unclear and blurry. I have only focused on what was right in front me. I have become undisciplined and in a sense out of control. I lost control and allowed other things to control me and how I spend my time; family obligations, work, school. All of those things are very important, but I still have a responsibility to stay on course and follow the vision.
In the medical community this lack of focus is known as
nearsightedness. A condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly
but objects farther away are blurry. The
degree of a person’s nearsightedness affects their ability to focus on distant
objects. However, nearsightedness can be
corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses.
I believe we often lose focus on our vision because it seems like a distant object. It seems so far away and out of reach. This distant and unattainable vision causes us to lose focus on what was once so
clear. We can correct this “nearsightedness”
by changing our perspective, adjusting the lens of our mind, and refocusing on
what was important when the vision was crystal clear.
If you had a vision of seeing yourself healthier, thinner,
in a loving relationship, a different career, whatever your vision may have been, you
can get back in focus. Adjust your “eyeglasses”
so your vision extends far beyond what may be distracting you today. This doesn’t mean you will never lose focus
again. It just means that you may need to remind yourself that it is time to
clean your “eyeglasses” so you can see your vision clearly again. As I close this post, I have my cloth in my hand
ready to remove of the fog from the lens of my mind that has been holding me
back from becoming all that God wants me to be. I hope that you will join me.
Embrace and enjoy the journey.
Be inspired, uplifted, and encouraged.
God Bless!
