CLEARING OUR VISION

CLEARING OUR VISION Have you ever had a friend-or relative- TELL you something- ONLY to have it come true A few months later But for some reason- You/we/I don't listen I think this happens To us all MORE OFTEN than we care to admit “You hypocrite-remove the wooden beam From your eye first Then you will see CLEARLY To remove The splinter From your brother's eye” Matthew 7:5 And isn't that ALWAYS the way It seems that the PLANKS in our own eyes Keeps us from seeing ourselves More clearly It just seems That we are too often Criticizing or judging others To see ourselves The way that we should Let us all CLEAR OUR VISION Let us all get our vision Back to 20/20 So we can see ourselves Just as clearly AS GOD SEES US “My eyes Are ever on he Lord For only he will Release my feet From the snare” Psalm 25:15 “Do not be wise In your own eyes Fear the Lord And shun evil” Proverbs 3:7 “The eye Is the LAMP of the body IF your eyes are healthy Your whole body Will be FULL OF LIGHT” Matthew 6:22 I have to tell you I/we-well I think we all RECEIVE great advice and spiritual wisdom From time to time But it takes time- And self-examination and soul-searching To actually REALIZE How the TRUTH applies to us We have to get that plank Out of our own eyes So that we can CLEAR OUR VISION So that we can have 20/20 vision About ourselves again Dear God-Dear Lord We ask you to HELP US NOT to criticize and judge others And KEEP our minds and eyes Upon our own sins So Lord we ask you for CLEAR SIGHT- For right thinking And for genuine rebirth And HEALING within ourselves Dear Lord-please CLEAR OUR VISION and give us 20/20 sight once again In Jesus' name Robert P.
