I've shared with many my thoughts on how we must center our lives. If we focus on Christ, we discover the redeeming love and the transforming power of a Holy God. This is the only way I know to solve the problems and the struggles that I face every day.But, there are many distractions in this world...many ways to lose our focus.
There are those who believe that money can solve problems. They believe that money brings success and joy to life, and they are driven to get more and more of it. They look at life through the dollar $ign. They think that they can buy anything with money -- friends, love, respect, confidence, peace and courage. These people are 'money-eyed' people.
Some think life is worth living only when they are high on mood-altering drugs. They live for drugs. They will kill for drugs. And sometimes, they are even willing to die for drugs. These are 'drug-eyed' people.
There are those who think only of themselves. No one else counts. They will slander anyone, even family and friends, to get what they want. Their thinking revolves around three things, "me, myself and I." Their focus is internal. I call them 'me-eyed' people.
But, I also know people who look to the Heavenly Father and His love to find meaning in life. They study Jesus beneath His cross and learn of God's love. If you are a person whose focus is on the things of God, you are what I call 'cross-eyed.'
I encourage you to examine all things from God's point of view. Think 'cross-eyed' in order to be a complete person. Do not settle for less. Lives are not held together by mere intellect and human reason...it's our Father's love that completes us. In God's love, we can believe the eternal value of His presence. Trust Him with your life....believe!
