You are my vision

I love that song “You are my vision”. Rend Collective does an awesome version of that song. Y’all need to check it out – just click the link for the YouTube thing.

But I was just listening to this song

Y’all know of this time of trial we are having. If you don’t? QUICK RECAP: My thyroid meds are screwed up. I am dealing with MAJOR hypothyroidism symptoms. My arthritis is flaring up badly, my depression and anxiety has my brain in a constant state of moosh.

Yes. Thats the technical term.

As my kids get older – their symptoms are getting ….. stronger? I dont know how to put that correctly. I mean in correct english. Theres more – but thats not why I am writing.

I am writing cause this song? Oh puts my …… everything in perspective. Here are some of the lyrics (click lyrics for the full video):

You are my vision, O King of my heart
Nothing else satisfies, only You Lord
You are my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Your presence my lightYou are my wisdom, You are my true word
I ever with You, and You with me Lord
You’re my great Father, and I’m Your true son
You dwell inside me, together we’re one

God is … or should be … our everything. He should be the only thing in our vision. Sure things will get in the way. Life is freaking hard! But my God? Our God? Is a million times bigger. He doesn’t want us to focus on those difficult circumstances – why? Cause they are literally too overwhelming for us to handle. He wants us to concentrate on Him and Him alone.

Not saying that will make life easier – or make your difficult circumstances go away quicker – I’m just saying concentrating on Him? Will definitely be the only reason you get through. However long it takes. And? He will bless your faithfulness – looking to Him even when things insurmountable? that takes great faith

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 14:27
