"The difference between excellence and mediocrity is vision...period end of story.  If you want to be mediocre then don't have a vision." Dr. Jerry Falwell

"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." Jonathan Swift

Is there anything more disheartening than aimlessly living life, no purpose, no goals.  I am personally learning the importance of finding, having, owning, and living out God's vision for my own life.  As we search the Bible we find great men and women of God who found God's vision for their life, and it was ALWAYS out of reach of human abilities.  At some point the strength, resources, or personal abilities fell short and the person had to depend on God to fill in the void where they were deficient.  It is in this "place" where God works and where I want to live.

Why is important to find God's vision for your life?  Because God's vision for you is what He has created us for, and because it always takes faith to carry this vision out.  May every believer seek out, find, and live out God's vision for their life.  We are limited, not by our abilities, but by our desire to find His vision for us.

We are people that believe that telling a lie is wrong.  We want others to tell us the truth and we get really upset when they don't.  We are all about the truth and then there are times when we flat out lie.  All of a sudden lies are justified and the truth just doesn't seem to be so important.  It is in those moments that we truly determine whether the truth is really important.  The same is true about living by faith.

Living by faith requires one to find God's vision for their life.  Most of the time the vision will be something that we will have no idea how to obtain, but that is exactly what God wants us to realize.  We can't do it without Him.  It is great to read stories about other great men and women who have realized God's vision for their life, but it is time that we realize God's vision for us, and without faith it is impossible.  Let's stop living off the great stories of the past, and create new stories and see what God will do through us!
