The root of tainted vision is seeded not so much in our eyes but in our hearts, and from the heart flows the wellsprings of life. The lust of our flesh, the lust of our eyes, and the pride in our lives has turned our hearts away from Jesus and to fickle gods. We have lost our understanding of what beauty is, because we have sought to define something we didn’t even create. We therein our definitions create a monster; an idolatrous being that demands more than we can pay, keeps us longer than we wanted to stay, and takes us further than we ever wanted to go. Whole nations and people groups are now suffering at its alter.
The hardest thing, I believe, is dis-inheriting the definitions and opinions of man in order that we may inherit the opinion of Christ. But how worth it, it is to inherit the truth of Jesus Christ, because to uproot vision of idols and to inherit God’s vision is to see the whole world anew.
