Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Hi guys! Just wanna share with you all a little something about my week.

This week hasn't been an easy week for me. Have you ever had a time where things just change overnight and you have no time to react to the situation? This was my week. Emotionally and spiritually, I have been feeling quite down even before this thing happened. When it happened, it somewhat 'shook' me and I guess, I felt lost. Physically, I haven't been feeling too good too.

Working in church is not easy as many of you may think. Hahaha... :) Yes, we have our 'relax' moments but there are a lot of expectations on me or maybe I set expectations of myself. I'm not to sure. But even as I begin to work, I begin to see God's hand at work and I begin to see a lot of things is actually not my way, but God's way.

As I was saying, I was feeling down and emotionally upset. This song "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" came to my mind. For some who do not know the lyrics.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in His wonderful face

And the things of earth

Will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace

Even as I began to sing this hymn. I felt God put the peace in my heart, letting me feel so assured to know that He is in control of every situation. I finally felt I could breathe, I could sense His sweet presence. I could smell the sweet aroma of His presence.

God just reminded me of the verse in Heb 12:2 "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

My encouragement is for everyone of you who is reading this. Those who are going through hard times, those who are going through a difficult time in school or even having problems with your projects or even if you feel like no matter how hard you try with your studies you still can't do it. Know that God is control. When we fix our eyes on the author and perfecter of our faith, God will never, never, ever fail to show us His ways. And from there, we can approach things in His manner, in His ways. His ways, His thoughts will never be that of ours.

Love, Becky
