Looking Far - Investing in the Next Generation

Psalm 71:18 "Even when I am old and grey, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who come."

I love this verse from the bible. It encompassed all that I uphold and believed in. If I had any strength at all, I'd like to delare the power to the next generation. It speaks of my desire, my passion, my faith and desperation in the Spirit towards the Lord to use me for His purposes for the future generations.

When I see a person, I see potential. I see weakness, I see the sin, the strife, and the pain. Yet, I also see the grace of God, His goodness and sometimes, when God wants me to walk through with this person, I see the probable journeys, the misses, the falls, the conflicts, the angers, the wrestles he'll have with me or the Lord.

The Lord has also taught me to see with regards to myself. I used to be awfully bothered by what people think and say of me, but of recent, I've learnt to set the course straight before the Lord. I come before Him and know clearly "Lord, I want you to say - I've been faithful." Seeing that for myself have set me free from many traps and snares that otherwise, could have gotten me.

In every youth and young adult that the Lord has placed in my life, from when I started my ministry 10 years ago, He's trained me to see who this person will become in accordance to the will of God. I will see this person marrying a man/woman of God, breaking through, his/her entire Spirit changed and also, on his/her marriage day, declare to the world that God is so good is his/her life. I hold on to the power of the vision dearly, and pray God surface and deal with every single sin and hindrance of his/her life till the full potential/Glory of God for this person comes to pass.

Some people say an eye for detail needs to be trained. Yes, it's great to have that eye for detail for certain jobs.But ask me, I would rather ask the Lord to continously, give me an eye to see what He sees. What He sees of me, of the world, of the people around me. No deception for me, Lord. I want to see!
