Sometimes I feel so dense. I learn a lesson, then I kind of forget it and make the same mistake again! Have you ever done that? It's so frusterating. And usually, when you're making the same old mistake again, you don't even realize it until it's too late. For me, this mistake is letting my focus veer off of the straight and narrow. The glitz, glamour, and pull of the world is so strong, and I often find myself keeping my eyes on the sparkle of it, the people in it, and the problems that it creates more often than I catch myself turning my eyes upon God.
It's so easy to get caught up in the every-day, minute problems of this world, and lose focus on the Lord and His promises. But really, at the end of our lives, the only thing that matters is God! Though it's hard to fathom, everything about this world will fade as we look upon the face of sweet Jesus, and nothing about this world will matter except for our relationship with Him, and how well we served Him. That is where the focus of our lives should be!
So, I'm re-focusing my eyes on the only One who matters the most, who loves us the most, who knows everything about us, and who desires our love and attention the very most.
This is the chorus from one of my favorite hymns, that speaks directly to the heart of this issue:
♫ Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace!♫
