WE GOTTA HAVE A VISION

EACH DAY, WHEN I SIT DOWN TO WRITE, I WAIT FOR INSPIRATION.  I USUALLY HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT IT WILL BE OR WHERE IT WILL COME FROM, BUT WHEN THE INSPIRATION ARRIVES............IT HITS ME QUICK AND SUDDENLY AND I BECOME SOMEWHAT OBSESSED AND CANNOT SEEM TO REST UNTIL I GET THE WORDS TYPED OUT!  THATS WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING.  I LOVE WHEN IT HAPPENS LIKE THIS! 

I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I LIVED A LIFE OF CONFUSION AND DISCONTENT FOR WAY TOO LONG.  I WAS CONTENT TO BE DOWNCAST, BORED WITH LIFE IN GENERAL AND SETTLED FOR A LITTLE BIT OF NOTHING.  ONE DAY WAS JUST LIKE ALL OF THE REST AND MY NIGHTS FOLLOWED THE SAME OLD PATTERN.  I BELIEVED IN FALSE HAPPINESS AND LOOKED FOR ANSWERS IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.  BOY, WAS I FOOLED....I HAD IT ALL WRONG....I WAS ROBBED OF THE REAL JOY OF LIVING!!!!!

I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT THE SCALES WERE REMOVED FROM MY EYES!  TODAY, I CAN DARE TO DREAM!  I HAVE HOPE FOR TOMORROW!  I CAN HAVE A VISION.  I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT REAL HAPPINESS AND JOY UNSPEAKABLE ACTUALLY DOES EXIST!!!  I LOOK FORWARD TO EACH MOMENT AND I AM BLESSED TREMENDOUSLY THROUGHOUT EACH AND EVERY DAY.  THERE IS NOTHING THAT I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THAT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THE THE FEELING I GET WHEN I DESCRIBE THE LOVE OF THE LORD!!! 

OUR BIBLE TELLS US THAT ABRAHAM, JACOB, MOSES, EZEKIEL, PAUL, JOHN AND SO MANY OTHERS HAD REMARKABLE VISIONS.  WELL FOLKS, SO CAN WE!  THE GOD THAT THEY SERVED BACK THEN IS THE SAME GOD WE SERVE TODAY.  HIS WORD IS UNCHANGING!!!!!  WHAT HE DID FOR THEM, HE DOES FOR US TODAY!  I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN MY LIFE THROUGH HIS UNDYING LOVE FOR ME!  HE HAS GIVEN ME HOPE!  HE HAS DESTROYED THE STRONGHOLDS WHICH HELD ME BACK FOR SO LONG!  HE HAS GIVEN ME A GLIMPSE OF A WONDERFUL FUTURE!  GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS......HE WILL DO THIS FOR US ALL!  IF ONLY WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO DREAM!!!  WE GOTTA HAVE A VISION!

PROVERBS 29:18  WHERE THERE IS NO DREAM, PEOPLE PERISH
