Welcome

Welcome - I have been brought to this medium through a good friend who has paved the way for me by taking our mental musings over the years from the written page to email, and now to a publishing forum. A forum where thoughts are not restricted between a dedicated originator and addressee, but are available to all who care to be invited in.

Why ESHV?

We walk in this world but need to consider our lives with a view to the next one. Daily our Earthly Sight (read attitudes, opinions, knowledge, actions) is challenged, tempted, assaulted, lured, shaped. It is also fortified, strengthened, educated, enlightened, disciplined, rebuked, expanded. The difference in effect arises from what we put before our sight. This is where our Heavenly Vision or Eternal Perspective comes into effect. As Christians we should walk daily 'by faith, not by sight', this exhortation should embolden us to face each day in this realm, prepared for the challenges that come our way. If we fail to consider eternity in all we do, then our sight will lead us astray.

Thus an aspiration for the Christian walk should be - Earthly Sight, Heavenly Vision.

I hope those that join me here may get a greater understanding of what gestates in my inner being; and along the way would be challenged to enter into the discussion themselves.
