Vision of God - Visio DeiSample
The vision that the Lord has for His kingdom is profound and transformative. It's a vision that steadies the interconnectedness of the divine creator and His created, demonstrating that the Kingdom of God was never meant to be separated from us, but rather that it would be brought to Earth! Through the work of Jesus, God's plan was revealed to unite Heaven and Earth. Humanity would be reconciled with their Creator, and a kingdom would be established where His presence would encapture every corner of the Earth. This is the vision of our father.
The brokenness and desperation that mark the human condition reveals our deep need for a Savior. It is within this context that we glimpse the greatness and fullness of the Lord's vision. His plan to bring His Kingdom to Earth is one that intricately involves us as His hands and feet on this earthly plane. We are, in essence, co-laborers with God in the unfolding of His divine plan. This is the gospel and this is our call.
As followers of Christ, we are called to serve others with humility and love. In doing so, we mirror the heart of God and participate in the expansion of His Kingdom here on Earth.
Jesus, in His earthly ministry, not only proclaimed the arrival of the Kingdom but also embodied it through His actions and teachings. Jesus set the standard of humility and service for all to follow, illustrating that the Kingdom of God is nothing if not servant-minded. When we practice this, we practice the heart of God that focuses and sees on every heart!
In embracing this vision, we recognize that the Kingdom is not about the exaltation of self but the elevation of others. It's about extending compassion and love to the marginalized, offering hope to the desperate, and being participants of transformation in a world yearning for redemption. The Lord's vision for His Kingdom is one of selflessness, love, and restoration- it involves people on a mission. It invites us to participate in bringing forth Heaven on Earth, where justice, mercy, and righteousness prevail.
As we align our lives with the Lord's vision for His Kingdom, we become channels of His resounding grace, catalysts of change, and ambassadors of reconciliation. Our actions, motivated by pure love and humility, not only reflect our faith but also serve as beacons of hope in a world devastated by brokenness and division. It is in this partnership that we find our true purpose and mission. In the pursuit of this vision, we encounter the boundless depths of God's love and His unwavering commitment to His creation. This is God’s story, and it is a story worth sharing to the nations.
About this Plan
Visio Dei or “vision of God” speaks to the heart of God; a heart that is passionately expansive, stretching over cultures, religions, and people groups. When God’s vision becomes our vision, we grow compelled to love differently, serve selflessly, and live authentically as sons and daughters of the King. May Visio Dei become the cry of our hearts as we embrace the fullness of the Lord’s love for His people.
