What is the vision? I know Pete Greig begins his challenge of discipleship with that statement, but in all honesty...it's a good question right?

The vision is a journey.
The visions is a body making the decision that they want to join in on the journey.
Where are we headed?
The top of a mountain and through the clouds to a place where oxygen is thin and eagles daren't fly.
Up there fires bure and waters flow.
Life lives.

We all pour out our hearts and physical energies on the climb up the sheer mountain side grazing our knees and scarping our elbows.
But what does that matter to us?
For we know whom we seek.
And we shall seek his glorious face for all our days.
I am a reflection of that glorious face and so are you - so delicately crafted to stand as a giant among dwarves.

I'm sure I've written this many times.
Or atleast that i am beginning to.

But we love because God first loved. We love because God so loved the world that he gave his only son.

That NONE would perish.

My struggle is the response that we give.
It is simply that. It is a response. It's not a show, it's not songs or people.
It is what our voices and hearts were made to do.

Does that make sense?

I never want to be part of a show.

And I regularly pray that if pride creeps into my bones, that God will break me down and humble me. God doesn't need me to lift up his name in a show. He made me to lift up his name and worship.

Christ is the vision.

Christ is the reason.

This is it.
