Helen Keller was once asked, "Is there anything worse than being blind?""Yes," she replied, "the most pathetic person in the whole world is someone who has sight but no vision."
Vision is possessing a sense of purpose in life. And mankind's purpose is found in the Scriptures. God has a plan for each believer's life, and it is our responsibility to walk by faith, totally dependent upon Him to fulfill His purpose in and through us.
God has chosen you and your mate to fulfill His customized plan in your marriage, family and world. Have you caught that vision? Has your mate?
Americans live for the moment, unmindful of the future. We want satisfaction now. We don't want to plant seeds that grow oak trees; we want to plant seeds today and harvest the trees tomorrow!
Many individuals, and most couples, are not asking enough questions about life. Caught up in the rush of living, they seldom take time to step out of the mainstream long enough to take a look at where they are going. Seneca,the Roman philosopher, said, "You must know for which harbor you are headed if you are to catch the right wind to take you there."
Do you and your mate know where you are going? Ask yourself:
What is my vision, direction, purpose and pursuit in life?
What is my mate's vision, direction and purpose?
What is God's ordained destiny for my mate? For me? For our marriage? For our family?
Can you answer these questions? Are you confident of your answers? Perhaps you and your mate are searching for your purpose, direction and vision in life. Perhaps you have never given much thought to your destiny.
