God-Focused

This week in school we're talking about "The Secret to Happiness." Just writing that makes me feel like I'm in some kind of self-help support group but to be honest, I am getting so much out of this week already. It's day 2 and God is really opening my eyes to why I find myself in critical, insecure, and unhappy places. If my eyes are fixed on me or circumstances I become selfish and lacking joy but when I am focused on God and His heart I become grateful and full of joy. It's a simple revelation but life changing. There are too many times where I have taken my eyes off of God and His character that I have become embittered and angry.

Something I know I will hold on to so tightly is to not lose site of God among the cause of this world. My cause is Jesus not injustice. I cannot bring justice to any situation, Jesus is the only One who can do that. How selfish for me to believe I could do anything about the children getting raped in Asia, the villages starving in Africa, or the hopelessness forming in Haiti. If justice at its purest form is truly love correcting everything that stands against love then the only justice is to live by love in its Purest Form, Jesus.
