Fix Your Eyes of Jesus

Thanks to my sister, Joni, for leading me to this verse today.
Life has been stressful lately. Too many times, I look away from Jesus, who is my peace, and set my eyes on my circumstances.
God has shown me time and again that the only way to keep my peace is to keep my eyes fixed steadily on Him.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Hallelujah! What a terrific verse. It's all about perspective friends! What perspective are you looking at life from? Are you looking through the perspective of fear, doubt, worry, and stress? Then you have your eyes on your circumstances! We all do that at times. We have to train ourselves to keep our eyes on Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of our faith!
