His perspective

“The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light.”

Luke 11 : 34


Ever watched a Disney classic cartoon before going to bed and ended up dreaming of castles and honey eating bears ? Or ever watched a cooking show and all of sudden become really hungry ? J

We read  that the our eye is the lamp of your body. When our eyes are healthy, our whole body also is full of light. The question today is what are we fueling ourselves with ? What are we feeding ourselves with ?

Its not just about what see on TV , or read in magazines…  but its also how we choose to see things and allow it to either strengthen us or break us. When someone passes by, what do we see ? Do we see fellow brother/sister in Christ who needs to know Jesus ? do we look in lust ? do we look in contempt and bitterness ? What are we seeing today ?

Colossians 3: 2 says, “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”. Basically we are to see things from His perspective. Things that matter and things that don’t. I know for me during the course of the day its so easy to get my heart and head wrapped around so many other things.  

Ever got stuck in traffic ? Ever had that ruin your mood ? J I remember this testimony that someone I know shared. She would pray for people around her as she stood in traffic.  What was she seeing differently ?

“The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light.”

Ready to shine ?

God Bless
