"La sagesse, c'est d'avoir des rêves suffisamment grands pour ne pas les perdre de vue lorsqu'on les poursuit." Oscar Wilde
"Wisdom is having sufficiently big dreams so as not to lose sight of them as we are pursuing those dreams." Oscar Wilde.
I think God has sufficiently big dreams ... He just has trouble with convincing us to go along with them!
Big visions always begin with the small first steps.
In every human group there is at least one visionary who understands the big picture and who inspires the others to look toward the horizon. But each group also needs those who put their nose to the grindstone, those who pay attention to detail, who anticipate problems/difficulties. We need those who are creative, communicative, positive and those who are prudent, thoughtful, scientific.
Vitality is a very big vision for our Union of Churches and we are starting with a group of motivated leaders in the Evangelism Sub-committee taking small steps (in their very busy schedules) to transmit this vision. We are convinced that it is the right Pathway for our churches. We can only go further with this vision as the Holy Spirit leads and empowers us and the members of our churches.
There will be times where we have our nose so close to the grindstone that we lose sight of the vision, but it's God's job to keep us going on this and to use all our talents to bring our churches into a more vital way of living out our faith in an amazing God.
May your Kingdom come ...
