journal/VISION-SECOND SIGHT

In the Gospel today-Jesus physically HEALS a blind man-but the pharisees ask "WHO sinned?"
And they were especially upset that this HEALING took place on the Sabbath Day

They ask to hear the story again and again because they are SPIRITUALLY BLIND
unlike the BLIND man who was physically BLIND

Dear Lord-we PRAY that WE MIGHT SEE though FAITH the miracles that you performed
WHEN you walked this earth-and we NOT only SEE but BELIEVE

It is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God's LOVE for us and HIS VISION for OUR LIVES

LOVE YOU ALL!




















VISION-SECOND SIGHT




Do you think
God has vision for your LIFE


VISION is defined as the faculty
Or state of being able to SEE:
A SUPERNATURAL apparition


Maybe call it DESTINY
Maybe call it FATE
But I BELIEVE
That God has a PLAN for all of our lives


And it is ALL GOOD
If we-just cooperate


And if we don't cooperate
GOD GIVES us another chance
Call it SECOND SIGHT-if you will


Like Saint Paul
Who when he was Saul
Didn't get it right


But in SECOND SIGHT-As Paul
He went on
To be-perhaps the GREATEST APOSTLE of Christ
That the world has ever seen


“So then-King Agrippa-I was NOT disobedient
To the VISION from heaven” Acts 26:19


LIKE Saint Paul
I did not get it right
The first time


I was CONVINCED
That God's plan
FOR MY LIFE
Was through a family
And children of my own


But NOW
I AM CONVINCED
That I-as all of you
BELONG to the FAMILY OF GOD
And we ARE to BUILD UP GOD'S KINGDOM
In this world


“BEHOLD-the Kingdom of God
IS AMONG YOU” Luke 17:21


SCIENCE has made
Wonderful strides
In the partial and nearly complete restoration
Of human beings' sight


But of course
GOD'S PLAN
Is even more complete


Of course-we have Peter and Paul
and ALL the other apostles and disciples
Who after getting it wrong
Went on
To BUILD the KINGDOM


SECOND SIGHT


And it is
NOT ONLY for our churches today
But it is ENCUMBENT
On you and me
To do
WHAT we can
In thought
In word
And in deed


To build up the kingdom


Maybe you
Are like me
And ONLY can do it
Through the written word
Due to a disability-or a time factor
Or some other limitation


REMEMBER
“The PEN
Is mightier than the sword”


Regardless
Of what it may be
YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS are wanted
In the building up
Of the KINGDOM


GOD'S VISION IS PERFECT
But for us
It may need
A SECOND SIGHT


OUR VISION
Can become PERFECT
Through the HEALING SIGHT
Of our Lord


“PRECIOUS in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of his saints” Psalm 116:15


NOT only the death
Of his saints
BUT ALSO THE LIVES


Dear Lord-WE PRAY
That when
We get the original plan
Of our lives wrong


That you BESTOW on us
Like you did for Peter and Paul
SECOND SIGHT


And with another chance
WE SEE our lives
With the 20/20 VISION
That you gave us
And we USE this gift


IN THE BUILDING UP
Of the kingdom
Of God
