Words to Live by.....Focus






My hubby and I went to the eye doctor this week.
I had to sit still and look through a lens and "focus" on the letters across the room on a board.
It was hard to tell what some of the letters were.
I had to keep my "focus" on them in order to see.

As believers that is what we have to do also. stay
"focused".  As I was praying this morning, I was reminded to "abide in Jesus". To do this I have to keep my "focus" on him. To serve and be like him
is what I desire. Jesus lived to show us how to do this. He showed his love by serving others, praying for them and forgiving them. Even when
he was dying on the cross he forgave the ones that 
was crucifying him.

Keeping my "focus" is hard to do at times, I have 
to pray and ask God for wisdom to know his will
for me. Even when I am assured of what I am to
do, it isn't always so easy, but if I keep my "focus"
on Him, I can show his love and serve others.

  5. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can never go astray. But the world tries so hard to distract us and get us out of focus. Thank you for this timely post to help me get my eyes back on the Lord and not on things around me that are vying for my attention. God will see me through if I will just keep looking at Him. Great post.
