Encouragement
This is a post from one of my friends and it is so true.Felt the need to share this tonight. I've needed some extreme encouragement for some time and I believe God brought this friend's post into view at the perfect timing... maybe you can find some of the same to help with something you might be walking through at the moment...
From my friend:
I just got back from Europe.
And I can't stop thinking about depth of vision.
We toured this cathedral in Cologne, Germany. They started construction in the 1200s. They didn't finish for over 120 years.
Think about that for a second.
The people who started it knew they would never see it completed.
They dedicated their entire lives to being part of the generation that started it;
knowing they'd never walk through the finished cathedral...
Never see the final result...
Never experience what they were building...
But they built it anyway.
And I'm standing there, hundreds of years later, walking through this structure that's impossible to wrap your mind around.
The way they constructed it is unreal.
We went two levels down into the treasury.
You can see the columns of the church from down there.
These guys, without lasers or modern technology, built something that's sustained for over a 800 years.
They knew to go down that far.
They knew the angles.
They knew the weight distribution.
Meanwhile, I just went through a renovation at my own house.
And these guys today, with all the technology in the world, can barely get a wall straight!
Knowledge has increased.
But intelligence has decreased.
We don't think in depth of vision anymore...
Everything's six-minute abs.
Five easy ways.
Quick fixes.
Microwave solutions.
We've lost reverence for mastery.
We've lost the ability to start something we'll never see finished.
We've shrunk our vision down to what we can accomplish in our lifetime.
Or worse, in the next 90 days.
Too many of us are looking for:
The quick fix.
The six-minute solution.
The easy way out.
Next month. Next quarter
But here's the truth:
Freedom isn't built in 90 day ok.
It's built with depth of vision.
The men who started that cathedral in 1200 knew they were laying a foundation for something they'd never see.
But they built it anyway.
Because it mattered.
Because it was bigger than them.
Because the next generation needed it.
You're not just building freedom for yourself.
You're building a foundation for your kids.
For your marriage.
For your legacy.
For the man God's calling you to become.
And you might not see the finished cathedral. But, that doesn't mean you don't start!!!
I'll never see the finished cathedral.
I'll never know what this movement looks like in 100 years.
But I'm laying the foundation anyway.
Because the next generation needs something built with depth of vision.
Because quick fixes don't sustain for 800 years.
If you're reading this and you've been looking for the microwave solution...
If you've been hoping for six-minute freedom...
If you've been frustrated that nothing's worked yet...
Maybe the problem isn't that you're broken.
Maybe the problem is you're thinking too small.
Start building the cathedral.
Even if you never see it finished.
Even if it takes longer than you want.
Even if the first generation just lays the foundation.
Because what you're building matters.
And it's bigger than you.
I made a documentary about what it looks like to build freedom with depth of vision.
Not microwave solutions.
Not quick fixes.
But root-level healing that sustains for a lifetime.
The men who started that cathedral in 1200 never walked through the finished building.
But 800 years later, I did.
And it changed everything.
