A vision without action is only a dream, while action without vision is just passing time, but vision coupled with action can change your world. A vision, clearly seen and spoken of often, will unleash the momentum of God to become what you were born to become, and radically alter the future. The past can either hinder, or help in this process, depending upon the chosen view.  The intention of God is that the past would serve to energize, not paralyze, life toward the future. What seems like an ending frequently becomes God’s new beginning. 

Receive energy as you recall God’s activity in the past. While there may be things you would rather not repeat, they remain woven into the fabric of your experience. These events can become fuel to move your life dream toward its ultimate destination. Remember, the image of God planted in your spirit has more to do with the unseen than what is seen. The current reality need not be frustrating. Instead of giving up on seemingly dead hopes, embrace these moments as a place of opportunity to explore new vistas of creativity and realize this experience is CHANGING MY WORLD!
