2020: Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can’t Lose
The Awakening
When the ball dropped at midnight on January 1, 2020 in the middle of Times Square we were excited. This year was going to be the year of vision. Each of us had our own idea of how our enlightenment would play out.
We all know what happened next.
Six months into this year and many of us have lost our sight. Our vision is clouded with everything but enlightenment.
Fear.
Hate.
Anger.
Hopelessness.
Anxiety.
Depression.
Frustration.
We are consumed with darkness that blinds instead of awakens. Can I challenge you; all of us? Maybe, just maybe, the year of vision isn’t lost. Not yet, anyway.
When we went into lockdown mode in March, a word came to me: REVIVAL. A few weeks later came REPENT. I realized none of us could have any kind of revival without taking out some of the junk. Next came HEARTS EXPOSED. I realized everyone’s hearts were exposed: fully seen. There was no place to hide.
Vision.
2020.
It’s here. Vision is here. An awakening is here.
Have you ever watched a movie and some crazy dinosaur or monster is about to annihilate the main character. You know this because the ground starts to shake. The camera pans to the ground revealing the rumbling gravel. That is what is happening across our country; across our world.
There is a rumbling.
The ground is shaking.
All of our hearts are exposed.
I don’t care where you land; what side of the fence you find yourself. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or are an atheist. Each and every one of us is exposed. We have been given the opportunity to see. Will we take it?

In order to gain clear vision, we have to make adjustments. Just me. I know. I cannot see a thing without my glasses or contacts. Every time I see the eye doctor, he always asks me to remove my glasses. I feel exposed and vulnerable. The moment he places that thing in front of me to test a new prescription, I feel better; more secure. I can finally see again. I usually learn that I have been living with the wrong prescription. I’ve been looking through a faulty lens that’s led to me not seeing clearly. How about you After a couple of clicks and adjustments, we find the right prescription. I finally have clear vision (again).
2020 is not lost. Our vision isn’t gone. It’s only just begun. I believe there is a huge awakening happening. Blinders are being removed. Scales are falling from peoples’ eyes. What matters now is what we do with it.
Clear eyes.
Full heart.
Can’t lose.
Clear your eyes. Remove the blinders that have held you captive for too long. What have you looked at? What have you listened to? What has become your narrative? Do you need to make adjustments. What have you been blind to because it just didn’t make sense but now, now it seems more clear?
Where is your heart? Where does it rest? Is it solid on a firm foundation that cannot be shaken no matter what comes your way? Or, is your heart reactionary? You hear something and cue the emotions. Are you steady? Calm? Or irrational?
When your eyes are fixed on Jesus and your heart rests in His Truth, you can’t lose.
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12:2
Clear eyes.
Full heart.
Can’t lose.
