To clean the lenses through which we view life, we must first remove those things that obstruct our view. This requires more than a simple wipe of the shirt tail; it requires the right tools to thoroughly clean our heart:
• The Word of God: the solution that softens the dirty fingerprints on the lens of our heart
• Prayer: the extra boast needed to remove the fingerprints and smudges from our life
• Forgiveness: the cloth that wipes the lens of our heart and allows us a clear view of God’s purpose in our life
• Grace: the protective cover that keeps our vision from being clouded
God provides us with the tools needed to keep our vision clear and unclouded. Are you walking through life with dirty lenses?
