Do you know what it means to not have a vision? To not know where you want to go in life or what the future holds? Can you imagine what it would be like to not be able to think past today? Or even dream or have aspirations?
Yet this happens to us when we allow others to dictate our dreams, give us fear of the unknown, or make us believe the future is hopeless. Without a vision of what makes our hearts happy, we literally set ourselves up to perish.
Why do people commit suicide? They lost their vision, their hope, their reasons. We need to have a vision or a thought of our future, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Heb 11:1.
What is vision? " the act or power of anticipating that which will or many come to be". You don't have to be a prophet to have a vision. This is part of our sovereign right...to dream dreams and see visions. We've done this since our childhood, envisioned what our life would be like from day to day and when we were all grown up.
Growing up I knew exactly what I wanted to be, I had a vision in my head. I would be a teacher, I would marry for life, and have an even number of kids. My life would be a happy one. My husband would adore me and I would have enough money to live comfortably and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
