Hold fast to the vision. [ Acts 16 v 9]

While on holiday recently in the county of Norfolk,which is known as Nelson's county,we stayed in a chalet on the grounds of what had been ,a priory. A place where those of a religious order lived,it is set in a 35  acre site,when king Henry reigned,he cause a lot of these places to close.
   The site is now owned by a couple,and they have for a number of years,
spent time,effort,and money in restoration.There is a large structure called the gate house which is nearing completion,it was interesting to see pictures of what it looked like before the restoration began,how it was so dilapidated, but now what a difference.
  This had all come about at a cost,financially,and as the couple both confessed,many sleepless nights.Before we left I wrote in the guests comments book,praising them for what they had accomplished,and encouraging them to hold fast  to the vision they had.
     Hold fast to the vision,what vision has God placed in your hearts?,as a young man God placed a vision in my heart to serve Him.In fulfilling that vision there was a cost,but it seems to me there would have been a greater cost if I had not .I would have missed out in so many ways,and I have discovered, that one never looses out when they obey the vision that God has placed in their hearts.
                                     A prayer
Dear God help us not to be disobedient to that vision that You have placed in our hearts, in Jesus name Amen .
