I Can See Clearly Now

I was 29 years old before I needed glasses. I didn't even realize I needed glasses. I had grown accustomed to my blurred vision and to me I didn't even realize it was impaired. I had just moved to MI and needed to change my driver's license. I went up to the counter to check my vision and thought something was wrong with their machine.

Our vision can become impaired and we can grow so accustomed to it that we don't even realize we aren't seeing clearly anymore. It is a gradual change. We think we are fine...

I remember the first time I put glasses on and everything become clear. I was looking all around and it all looked so different than what I had actually thought it looked like.

Our spiritual vision can become impaired as well. We think we are fine but until we actually check it we won't know. It is a gradual change. A gradual clouding. We compensate and can still "see" so believe we are doing well. It isn't until we get on our knees and say those key words, "Search my heart oh Lord" that we feel the Lord stirring our spirit. It is a clarifying moment when He corrects our vision and we can see clearly.

Our vision has to be clear in order to see His plan and His path (especially if we are leading others).

Every day I have to put my glasses on. Every day I have to spend some time with God. Both help me to see clearly now.
