Focus And Love

Focus on the grand big picture of eternity, instead of getting wrapped up in the little problems of day to day life. The Lord has a greater plan than we could possibly imagine.

Focus on how well your needs our met, instead of how your desires are unmet. The Lord provides for the birds of the air, and He certainly will provide for us as well.

Focus on all the joy in your life, instead of the sorrows. The Lord gives us so many ways to find joy in glorifying Him.

Focus on what you have been given, instead of what has been withheld or taken away. The Lord gave us life here on earth and provided a means to eternal life through the atoning sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

Focus on who loves you, instead of who hates you -- and with proper focus you will see that God loves you so much. He loves you more than any person on earth could possibly love you. If you doubt this, ask yourself this question: Is there anyone on earth who would allow their child to suffer and die for me? I think not, but God did just that.

In response to "I love you" my youngest daughter once said to her mother "God loves me more". She's pretty smart.
