Focus, Dude!

Our eyes are amazing things. They are made to focus on one point, with all points around it fading. We weren't made to see one hundred things all at the same time. Photos where the subject is in focus and both the back and foreground are blurry look so cool and seem so real, because we were made to focus on one thing at a time.

A photo in which the main subject, the most important thing, is not in focus gets deleted. It is of no use. But a photo in which the main subject is crisp and clear will be kept and that memory will last forever, almost like a legacy.

The truth is, the parts of your life that aren't focused on Jesus will one day count for nothing, as if they were deleted. Anything outside of Jesus: the good, the bad, the great, the ugly; it will all be a waste, rubbish, thrown in the dump. 

But where Jesus is the focus of your life there is eternal value and worth. The dreams that are focused on Jesus and through Jesus.. those won't be forgotten in the morning, they'll last forever. Those life photos are the type of photos that are kept forever.

2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT)

“So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”

Hebrews 12:2

“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith.”

If your life was a photo album, what would the subject of all the photos be? 

What would people see if they paged through the album?

What are your life and your dreams focusing on?
