Episode 249: Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

Things To Remember – ‘Fix Your Eyes On Jesus’   

What is your first line of defense? When you face good times or bad – When your relational world is stable or messed up – When you are the epitome of health or can’t get well – When the bills are all paid and there’s extra or when none are paid. Do you turn to your own mind for answers? Do you seek diversion? Is there a trusted friend you call? Only one person is worthy of our focus, and when we focus there, all will be well with our souls. There are a million other lines of defense and options of where to look, but especially when times are rough—fix your eyes on Jesus.

This week one of our #WhoLifeTakeAways asked: 

In what ways does aiming for perfection rather than progress hamper your Christian pilgrimage?

So, what about you? Any other perfectionists out there feel a little bit like me or have you already turned the corner and love to see the progress as it unfolds? Let us know by using one of the following:
