Precious Ones, Does life get "blurry" for you sometimes?
Do events or people cloud your joy or
shadow your faith?
If you notice, I share a lot about “focus”
in this blog.
For one who has come to know
the humbling, life-changing, awe-inspiring
Grace of GOD,
I sometimes stumble, grumble and doubt.
Yet, I’ve learned the secret of FOCUS.
When things in life blur my vision…
Making me sad, fearful or angry
I need to Focus on God’s words,
His commandments,
His promises,
His truths.
As the Body of Christ, one of our
main tasks is to help each other “focus.”
To be transformed by the renewing of our minds and
the filling of our hearts

During my recent surgery,
I meditated on the following scripture
from the prophet Isaiah:
“Fear not for I AM WITH YOU.
Do NOT be dismayed, for I AM YOUR GOD.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you.
I will uphold you in
Do NOT be dismayed, for I AM YOUR GOD.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you.
I will uphold you in
MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.”
Isaiah 41:10
What a comfort these verses are to my soul and my body!
To focus and concentrate on spiritual truths

despite what my eyes see.
Like driving on a fog draped beach…
Hearing the surf, knowing that the tide is coming in,
But unable to see the water or what is afloat on it.
Blessed Assurance, our GOD is always with us!
All we need to do is focus and listen…
and HE encourages us!

"To focus and concentrate on spiritual truths
ReplyDeletedespite what my eyes see." This is soooo true, Jess. When nothing around us is making any sense, we can focus on what we know to be God's Truth and regain our peace. That's exactly where I seem to be right now in some ways! So glad you are able to blog while you are recuperating. You are such an encouragement to so many! Been wondering how the pregnancy center has been doing without you dear one! Love your photos!
