The Partnership

My new glasses are a joint venture of sorts. The frames have combined together with my Crizal no-glare lenses to produce assistance for my vision in doing such things as driving safely, blogging, working, church, and viewing my favorite shows on TV.
Though Crizal’s slogan of “live life in the clear” is a creative way to refer to the lenses of one’s eyeglasses, I believe it has a greater a greater meaning for one’s life. This quote reminds me of Galatians 6:7-8 (MSG) “Don’t be misled. No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness…harvests a crop of weeds! But the one who plants…to God …harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. ”
The commentary about these verses from The NIV Life Application Bible says, “It would certainly be a surprise if you planted corn and pumpkins came up. It’s a natural law to reap what we sow. It’s true in other areas too. If you gossip about your friends, you will lose their friendship. Every action has results. If you plant to please your own desires, you’ll reap a crop of sorrow and evil. If you plant to please God, you’ll reap joy and everlasting life. What kind of seeds are you sowing?”
Is your life as clear as it could (and should) be? What changes need to be made, or people do you need to right things with to bring about a focused enterprise with those who are of prime importance to you? You can’t get away with anything. Either someone will find out, or your conscience will guilt you in to confessing. Either way your constantly trying to cover the tracks of your lies. It’s rather exhausting. Come clean, and enjoy the peace of mind. This is for you.
