Focus your eyes on Jesus A few days ago I could feel myself go down a bit in mood. I had been told about something that I never new was happening. When I knew nothing about it, it did not bother me but off course the enemy wanted to discourage me and brought it to my attention. The old self started to struggle, with rejection, reasoning it out etc. The old feelings and thoughts of wanting to pull away from these people, was going through my head. I was shedding a few tears to the Lord one evening and asked Him to help me to not let these things bother me anymore, asking Him to heal those hurts. I woke the next morning with this in my head - Die to self and focus your eyes on Jesus. As I thought about this, it made sense to do this. When we have expectation of others, we can be disappointed and discouraged, BUT when we take our eyes off people, off ourselves and onto the Lord things change. To take our thought...
