Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

Love has been perfected among us in. Scripture records that; "...as He is, so are we in this present world" (1 John 4:17).

When you look at yourself, your abilities, weaknesses and negative circumstances, it becomes easy to be seized with anxiety, fear and despair. This is why God wants us to look away from ourselves and look at Jesus. In God’s eyes, because He has placed us in Christ, Jesus’ reality is our reality today— “as He is, so are we in this world.”

"Look (away) unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith"
— (Hebrews 12:2a, paraphrased).

So do not focus on your vulnerability or the lack in your life and get discouraged. Ask yourself: Is Jesus abandoned, forgotten, sick and poor today? No, He is at the right hand of the Father, full of life, peace, joy and favor. All of heaven’s resources are at His disposal. He is greatly blessed, highly favored and deeply loved by the Father today, and so are you!

To be Jesus-occupied like this is to see as God sees. And when you see as God sees, you will also see the grace and supply of the Lord swallow up every lack in your life!
