Hello Everyone,

Some have no vision. They are negative, pessimistic folks who tell you why it can't be done or shouldn't be done.

They often think of themselves as 'realistic', but God wants to take us far beyond reality and the natural to the supernatural!

When the steamboat was invented it was set for a first trial in the Hudson river, and they say a man on the banks stood there saying, "They'll never get it going." Over and over again he repeated this, until it started moving, at which time he promptly changed his tune to, "They'll never get it stopped!"

Helen Keller, "Worse than being blind would be to see, yet have no vision."

Some have lost their vision. They once had it, but they let it go. Maybe they were hurt, discouraged, or grew too comfortable.

Only one thing is worse than having less, and that is settling for less as the norm. Apathy is a killer. And they say ignorance is bliss. What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know and I don't care!

Don't settle. Don't settle for less. Don't settle for less than God's best!

And don't give up. If something in your life isn't what it used to be, don't give in and forget about the fact of what it ought to be, which is probably even better than how it used to be!

Some have no vision, and some have lost their vision...
Some have limited vision.

One of my favorite speakers is Zig Ziglar and he tells of a motivational speaker who drew great crowds and charged $30,000 a speech. He was invited to a convention of businessmen. He used a 6' blackboard and a piece of chalk for an illustration. He made a dot in the middle. "What do you see?" he asked a man on the front row. "A dot." He proceeded to ask the entire front row what they saw, and they all answered the same. It drew on quite monotonously and in impatience each next one asked would just say, "The same." "A dot." "I see what everyone sees." At the end of the back row after the final answer the speaker said, "Herein lies your problem. Each of you sees the same little dot, and not one of you sees the 6' blackboard waiting for so much more to be written upon it."
That was $30,000! But if they got the message it was worth it. We must see the big picture!

Oh How He Loves Us!
