Visions are born in the soul of a man or woman who is consumed with the tension between what is and what could be. Anyone who is emotionally involved—frustrated, brokenhearted, maybe even angry—about the way things are in light of the way they believe things could be, is a candidate for a vision.
They form in the hearts of those who are dissatisfied with the status quo. But a vision is more than that. After all, what could be is an idea, a dream, but not necessarily a vision.
