Vision and vision
Whenever we open our eyes we get visions; normal, ordinary and familiar visions. Sometimes we get extraordinary, unusual and not so common visions. You can get all of these visions without you having a Vision. You have visions, a lot of them, but still your life is without any sort of direction.
You enjoy what you see, of course the nice and pleasing visions, but you remain disconnected, as if what you see have nothing to do with your own personal life. Because apart from all such visions, you need a Vision; and you get that by listening. You see such disasters like the ones in Haiti and Chile; you see the conflicts in the Middle East, Iraq and Afghanistan; you see the threat to poverty because of a crisis in economy; you see so many abortions committed; you see future generations conceived in laboratories, adopted by two persons of the same sex, brought up by the benevolence of two mothers or two fathers… and you ask yourself: “What is happening?
Where is humanity heading to? What is the message in all of this?” We need a Vision, a Vision we can get only if we listen attentively to the signs of the times. There is a Word we need to LISTEN to! There is Someone Who is beyond us and above all of these circumstances, and He is speaking.
Can you get a meaningful Vision, just by looking at visions, without LISTENING… TO HIM?
