For Visionaries Everywhere

I read something today on the character and challenges of Prophets and Apostles; the intense conditions God requires of them because of their call, but it applies to anyone who’s a visionary. Below is a quote by someone named Os Guiness; it helped make so much sense of what I’ve been experiencing lately, and I believe this will help someone else too!

Don't Let Fear and Doubt Lower Your Standards

For the sake of making a point, set aside the fact that you may or may not have the faith for this. Let's say someone in their 40's told you they wanted to go to college, get a degree, start a career then save money, so they could buy a multi-million dollar home. If they even lived long enough to see it; you'd likely think that was crazy, right? 

How Would You Treat an Intruder?

What would you do if someone broke into your home and stole all of your valuables? My confident assumption is that you would likely be on the phone trying to find the strongest security system available and scheduling an install A.S.A.P. You might even go so far as to call the police and file a report; to hunt down and arrest the culprit, as well as get your stuff back!

Are You Thinking Too Small?

There are many reasons why God sometimes won’t give us what we ask for; it's usually because we're not ready for one reason or another. However, sometimes the reason He holds off is because we're thinking too small; He knows that when we learn the truth about who He is, what we initially asked for wasn't what we really wanted.
