I can easily take for granted my ability to see.  I remember things better by seeing them than just hearing them.  It is fascinating to watch what my eyes are drawn to and the quick way my mind immediately begins to assess what I am seeing.  There is so much to the sense of sight, but it does not imply vision.  Vision is an overarching perspective for which sight is only one element.  It is about creating and living into an experience.  On my daily dates with God I have learned that God’s vision for my life is broader, fuller, livelier, and grander than my own.  I am limited by my human capacities and I simply cannot see the things that God sees.  In our closeness I can rely upon the power of God to carry me through such a vision because I am not doing it alone. I never expected being an incest survivor would teach me about love as acceptance.  I did not know that becoming an addict with food would show me the power of love as surrender.  God saw love in all those experiences.  We can all align ourselves to God’s vision of the presence of love in our lives because it is not about us making it happen.  It is about opening ourselves up to the possibility.  It is about receiving it in ways and experiences we could not envision.  Walking a spiritual path is trusting the vision of God to bring about love in ways we never we knew we needed or wanted.  God is committed to the growth of our soul in love. When we come across experiences that seem like the farthest thing from love, perhaps they are just outside our vision of love but not God’s.
