Focus

A word that is said in our house ALLOT-is

Focus.

Focus on the task at hand.  Whether it's cleaning up, homework, soccer, setting the table.
F O C U S.

I've found that my ability to say focus on what's important verses my ability to Stay focused on what's important are entirely two different things.

And the past few days I found myself focusing on my shortcomings (which is just a backward form of pride) instead of Jesus and all that He is.

I have found that Perfectionism is the enemy of both patience and grace.
And I lost my focus was only looking at what was wrong or what I couldn't do.

So I began praying "Jesus help me focus on who YOU are instead of what I am not."

In doing so I began writing down words that describe who Jesus is:

Jesus You Are

Great

Holy

Just

Love

Kind

Good

Merciful

Savior

Redeemer

Father

Healer

Judge

Creator

Sustainer 

Perfect

All Power

All Knowledge

All Might

Right

Patient

Faithful

True

Gentle

Warrior

The Rose of Sharon

The Bright and Morning Star

In Me

For Me

Beside Me

Behind Me

Friend

Peace

The Way

The Truth




Who is Jesus for you today? Let's focus on Him together.
