hmmm…..
Today the internet has an article on how to improve your vision. The first suggestion is to eat more vegetables – like carrots. I think I remember my Mom saying that. It also suggested exercising your eyes; avoiding environmental toxins; and getting enough rest. All good information on how to protect our eyesight.
It occurred to me as I read the article that those suggestions could be handy for improving our spiritual vision, too. First, we can ingest good things into our spirit. Things like positive conversations, healthy television programs and reading material that focuses on improving our spiritual health. I think I remember my Mom saying that, too. Second, we can exercise our spiritual muscles by doing something nice for someone else. Third, we can avoid those things that aren’t good for our spirit: violent television, unwholesome movies and negative people can damage our vision. And, of course, getting enough rest is also very beneficial when trying to become more visionary in our daily life.
I was thinking today about a young man I know who has a sad life. He lives in a house he can barely afford and his life consists of going to work at a dead end job and playing video games all night long on his big screen T.V. His life right now is pretty much without hope or vision. My prayer for him is that he would embrace some of these visionary practices, but I am afraid that his life will always remain the same. And that makes me sad.
