Prodigal: I’m not sure how that will look right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Sometimes we need more in our vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comes from the book Overcoming Spiritual Blindness by James P. Gills, M.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A living faith of true intimacy with God graces the believer with joyfulness, contentment, freedom from fears and excess, help in moments of hardship, anticipation of eternity, and peace that passes all understanding. There is a paradox involved in spiritual sight owing to the realization that the rewards for faith and service may not always be apparent to the natural eye. However, our spiritual sight reveals something else: faith determines our destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
