Vision germinates in the heart. It seems hearts that suffer pain will often be ignited with vision to help others in pain. Such vision will surely make an impact.
For many, their pain simply sets them on a lifelong journey of seeking relief for themselves. They may also become bitter in the process as they find their efforts are futile. Their efforts to find comfort simply takes them nowhere.
But when pain inspires vision and you begin to help others, you also begin to find comfort for yourself. People find more comfort in comforting others than when they set out to seek comfort for themselves.
What’s your pain? Find others in similar situations and reach out to them. Allow your pain to inspire vision to touch others.
Pain inspired vision seems to fly!

Is it possible to have everyone take on the responsibilities of Leaders? That was God’s plan in Exodus 19:6. The nation of Israel were to be a kingdom of priests.
Every individual as a priest. No one would have to be instructed regarding what they should and should not do. Each person takes responsibility for themselves.
Obedience is not forced. They obey just because that’s what’s within them. It’s the right thing you do. What else should a leader do?
Responsibility is everyone’s business. No one says “That’s not my job,” since everyone is a leader. It’s everyone’s job. It’s everyone’s responsibility. How else would leaders respond?

    Never underestimate your own vision. It’s vital and gets you up and moving in the morning. Don’t sacrifice yours for anything.
    Our vision keeps us together and working for a common purpose. Without a common vision, we’d be scattered without direction.
   His (God’s) vision for us represents his purpose for our existence. Without it, we’d have no significance. Life would have no purpose.
    Yours, ours and His vision must converge to produce greater results than you’d ever imagine.
Words like Convergence, synthesis, collaboration, and synergy come to mind in a special way. Imagine the beauty of combining your vision and our vision with the Divine vision.

A genuine desire to please God drives people to wear themselves out for God. But God is already pleased with you because you are his child.
There is a prevailing idea that the vision God placed in your heart will be left undone for eternity if you don’t do your maximum. Remember, if God has placed a vision in your heart, he also knows that you only have 24 hours in a day.
Some are convinced that the Kingdom of God advances according to the effort they put in.  But God’s Spirit is already at work in this world and was active before we showed up. We simply have the privilege of joining him in his task.
Still others find significance in busyness. The more busy they are, the more useful and important. This is a subconscious, internal need that drives people to wear themselves out.
Moses sat to judge the people till the evening. This was the only solution he could find. He couldn’t think of it any other way. Until Jethro came and helped him to see things differently. (Exo 18:18)
For every person, there is a Jethro speaking sense into them. Only a few listen. Most ignore the message.
Please. Listen to this Jethro.

Move forward. Use every tool in your possession that will help you stay focused on your vision and to progress.
Don’t argue. Don’t say “after all I’ve done for you” to make them feel guilty. Making them feel guilty may make you feel good. But you just get stuck in emotions and arguments.
When his followers quarrelled with Moses, this is exactly what God told him to do. (Exodus 17:4-5)
Move forward. Stay focused on your vision.
