Having a positive vision

Matthew 6:22-23

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.

Mark 8:18

Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember?

1 John 5:14-15 

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15  And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

Thoughts on This Verse....

Confidence before God. That's sort of an oxymoron if you meditate upon it. Yet through the presence of Jesus at the Father's right hand and the intercession of the Holy Spirit, we can have confidence and come boldly before the Creator of the universe and know that he not only hears us, but also cares for us. Wow, what an audience! Oh, and one final thing, he also ACTS on what we ask.
