Keep your eyes on Jesus

 Cristo in voi, speranza della gloria. (Colossesi 1:27)

 Every one of us is a hell of a mess, and if we don’t keep our eyes on the Lord and our mind on His Word, we’re doomed to defeat, doubt, disillusionment, and final failure.

 When Peter started looking at himself, he started to sink. It was no use! You have to keep your eyes on Jesus.

 God knows you’re anything but perfect, and can’t be perfect and never will be perfect, and usually you’re pretty much of a mess, like the rest of us.

 So the only question, the only standard is: Do you depend on the Lord totally, trust Him and His grace and His love and mercy? If there’s anything good you ever do, do you give Him the glory?

 So help us to keep our eyes on You, Jesus. Help us to keep our minds and our hearts and our faith stayed on You, we ask for Your glory. —DBB [1]

 When you think you can't make it, when you see no way out, when your world seems to be dramatically ending, it is time to trust in love. Don't forget that you will be saved by a 'I forgive you', a 'don't worry', an 'I love you'. —Enrico Impalà
