Made for more.

Lately it feels like God is talking to me about vision, not the kind that is right in front of our eyes vision, but the horizon kind, the big picture of things vision, for we move towards where we are looking. It's so easy to get distracted by the small details of what is right in front of us that we stop moving towards the bigger picture, the bigger vision for our lives. When that happens progress can feel like grasping at the wind, spinning, and chaos. And while small daily habits are absolutely so important, they have to line up with some kind of goal for the future. If we don't have that, what are we really moving towards or accomplishing? I want to pause here and recognize that sometimes in our lives we feel like we are just surviving, just trying to make it through whatever hard-pressed moment we are in. There is no judgement here, so throw any guilt about not meeting personal goals away, it will not help anyone. Remember you have value, no matter what, no matter when. Guilt has no place in moving us forward. And it's okay to feel out of sync. It's just a heads up that some fine tuning needs to take place. It's time then to ask these questions. Do you know what your calling is? Do you have God's vision for your life? If you don't know, or feel all out of answers, God still knows, so ask Him! He certainly has all the wisdom to help you and has your best interests at heart. He will lead you like the Good Shepherd that He is in big and beautiful tiny ways. He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. He wants to give you a future and a hope that is from Him! The best! There's a sphere in life custom made for each of us to impact in positive ways that brings beauty and life. That can come in all kinds of forms because we are all unique! The world needs all of us, so don't disqualify yourselves! God has put gold in you, you were made in His image after all! And we are here right now for a reason and God wants to bring out the best in us. Following God's vision for us helps to mine that gold out. So how do we do this? Ask God and listen for His response. He will! How can we listen best? Seek Jesus. Keep seeking Jesus. Read the Bible for it opens us up to the supernatural voice of God. And when we know the vision, that path for us to take, then what do we do? Decide to follow His wisdom. Can I tell you that your purpose on this planet is wrapped up in Jesus? And the correct vision, what can it do for us? It will help us to ride out the rough places and they will certainly come. God's vision for us helps us to keep going, it will help us reach the heights. So whatever you do, don't give up on Him because anyone who seeks Him shall surely find Him when they seek Him with all their hearts. Are you anyone? Then this applies. And I feel like God is saying today, "Get on the path! Ask Me for My vision for your life and keep writing it down!" Dear hearts have you been waiting for that vision from God to come to pass? It can feel like such a long time. I feel like this is God's encouragement for you today and always, "I still see you. You still matter." 

"And the LORD answered me: 'Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end-it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.'" – Habakkuk 2:2-3. 

"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."Romans 10:9-10

"This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent." - John 6:29

Keep stretching your hands out to God dear hearts. Pour your heart out like a waterfall to Him. The road has surely been rough, but we are mighty in Him. Praise you Jesus. You did it all.
