Imagine, if you will, a pair of powerful binoculars. Two separate optical systems are joined together with a gear to focus two independent images into one three-dimensional view. To apply this analogy, let the scene on the left side of your binoculars represent your perception of your task. But Bishop, it almost seems like a waste of time. She doesn't have a testimony anymore. And she has no desire to come to church. You should see her with her friends at school. Let the picture on the right side represent the Lord's perspective of your task, the portion of His plan He has entrusted to you. She still is a daughter of Heavenly Father. He loves her and wants her to return. It's important for us to fellowship her and do all we can to get her back. Let's not give up on her yet. Father in Heaven hasn't. Now connect your system to His. By mental adjustment, fuse your focus. Something wonderful happens. Your vision and His are now the same. You have developed an eye single to the glory of God.

"An Eye Single to the Glory of God"
