Refocus

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Phil. 4:8

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Cor. 6:19b-20

20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Gal. 2:20

 1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
Hebrews 12:1-2

Living in a post modern world, where there are no absolutes, where everything is permissible and relative, where schools teach falsehoods, and God is outlawed from public life, it is important to refocus on what's important, on Jesus. I need to, want to, hunger to be in my Beloved's presence, to fix my eyes on Jesus alone, to hear His voice, to remember owns meditate on the four letter word- LOVE. He is Love Come Down, the Purchaser of my Salvation, and I am his bride, his Beloved, and His desire is for me! I desire to bathe in His holiness, to have streams of Living Water wash away the filth of this world. I want His light to shine on me, in me, and through me, I want His light to stream through my cracks and brokenness, that others would see only Jesus.
Today let's refocus and fix our hearts, minds, and spirit on what's eternal and matters most- Jesus.
