Focus

What is your focus on today? The troubles of your life, the wrong actions of someone else, the nasty fight you had with a friend or family member, or the fear of the unknown of today?
These things mentioned probably leave you feeling despaired, lonely, angry, hurt, tormented, frustrated, weak, worthless, hopeless, and down right nasty.  Why? Do you want to feel these things?
Just writing these words I felt my body tense up, I desired to grind my teeth, and squint my face. YUCK! That doesn't feel good, so why would you want to feel that or even do that.
A soft rose petal, the smell of a sweet fragrant perfume, chocolate, a cruise ship, smooth waters on a lake, a sunrise and a sunset, love, silk and satin, a warm blanket, scents of wood, clean air, fresh cut grass. AHHH! Now that is more like it. I feel relaxed, a smile came upon my face, and the list was longer.
There is a lot more to life that we live. Your choice, your battle between your ears is yours, I hope your choices make you feel warm and fuzzy inside instead of walking around with your panties in a wad; nasty.
What do you love? I didn't ask "who" do you love. I asked you what do you love? Do you love food? Do you love a nice ride on a sunny afternoon in a car or on a bike?  Why do you love it? My guess is that it makes you feel good in some way, shape, or form.
How did you get to know that you love it? Did you spend time doing it? Did someone introduce you to it?
Maybe it was from something that happened when you were a kid.
Falling in love is powerful. Life is that dance we do in the space between "making it happen" and "letting it happen."
So now what is your focus on? Perhaps being the bigger person (not the better person) saying "I'm sorry for ________" in that argument you recently had, maybe re-focusing on your blessings (gifts) from Father God that loves you more than stuff or anything you could ever do. Instead of being in fear of the unknown, maybe you could have "faith" that you are about to walk into a huge blessing and you're out there looking for that blessing. What you think about, you bring about. What are you focused on?

Just when you think Jesus Christ isn't in your life, boom there He is; ever present. What are you focused on today? Death or Life?  I encourage you to chose life.

"Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence O Lord.
They rejoice in your name all day long; they exult in your righteousness."

God is LOVE; choose the Love of Jesus Christ. It will change your life forever. 

Satan is DEATH; your panties in a wad is just plain nasty.
