Vision
is essential to ministry, but it's intangible. How
can we understand it? How
can we describe it to others? Here
are some selected quotations that try to describe this mysterious things
we call vision. + Vision is the art of seeing things invisible. (Jonathan Swift) + A vision is the dominant factor that governs your
life. It determines all the
choices you are making. It's
what's left
after all the layers are peeled away like an onion.
Clinging like glue to the inside of your rib cage.
It's what your mind naturally gravitates toward when it
is not legitimately concentrating on something else. It's
what determines your friendships and your relationships that you are
cultivating. It's
what your prayers are about, what
you dream about and are giving money toward.
(Phil Grant) + Vision is merely hope with a blueprint. (Anonymous) + Your purpose has nothing to do with grandiose goals,
lofty achievements, or universal fame.
It is the quiet confidence that, even if you never leave your
neighborhood, you will have lived fully. (Sybil Stanton) Why we need vision? + Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Proverbs 29:18) + It would be easier to develop great statesmen if
vision were as available as television. (Indianapolis Times) + A moment's insight is something worth a life's
experience. ( Oliver
Wendell Holmes) + Vision is the world's
most desperate need. There
are no hopeless situations, only people who think hopelessly. (Winifred
Newman) +
If you treat an individual as he is, he will stay
that way, but if you treat him as if he were what he could be, he will
become what he could be. (Goethe) +
Two men look out through the same bars: one sees the
mud, and one the stars. (Frederick
Langside) Finding courage for vision: +
The only person who likes a change is a wet baby. (Mark Twain) +
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you
can do. (John Wooden) +
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have
already mastered, you will never grow. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) +
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest
vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet
notwithstanding go out to meet it.
(Thucydides)
