What does it mean to #BeUncommon? To “Be Uncommon” simply means to live a life contrary to what you feel. It’s living a life completely led, trusting God regardless of what it looks like or feels like.
2017 will be uncommon for those who decide to “be uncommon”. This year will be a trust fall. Who do you trust more? You or God? Have you placed more trust in what you can do rather than what God has done? Who wins your trust? God is the one who gave you the vision to begin with, and He wants you to experience “it” more than you know! We want you to know that you are uncommon. But you have to see yourself this way. You must develop uncommon vision. Having #UncommonVision is seeing life through the eyes of God.
Even though God is the one who gives us the vision, we often respond with why we can’t see it…Why we aren’t qualified to walk in it…Why we can’t have “it”. If we are ever going to have uncommon vision, we must first stop looking at the world through the eyes of our own understanding, and allow God to guide us (Proverbs 3:5-6). When we depend on our own vision, our view is limited. We don’t see the whole picture looking straight at it. The only way to fully grasp “it” is to come above it, and that’s viewing it through the eyes of God.
We all have vision, but we have different ways of seeing. There are 4 types of eyes:
• Cross-eyed: Focusing on what everybody else is doing rather than what God is doing in your life. Comparing your life/dreams to everyone else’s while belittling the vision God gave you.
• Lazy-eyed: Spending all day wandering and “dreaming” about a vision instead of focusing on it and walking it out. All talk-no action.
• Blind-eyed: Afraid of “seeing”, that you would rather spend all day ignoring the vision and acting like you don’t “see” it. You’d rather wait to know that something is worth “seeing” before opening our eyes.
• Wide-eyed: Completely open to what God wants to do in your life regardless of what it looks like! Child-like trust and faith.
The reason why we often don’t “see” the way we are supposed to is because we have our eyes on the wrong thing. We all have different lenses, but our vision is central. We have one focus…our focus is Jesus. Some of us just take longer to realize it. #TrustGod
