Remember the Bible story where a guy named Saul was a big enemy of the new Christian faith? He spent a lot of time persecuting and even hurting followers of Jesus.
Fortunately, Saul has an incredible encounter on the road to Damascus. He is struck blind and it isn’t until a man named Ananias comes and lays hands on Saul that his eyesight is restored. Wow…what an amazing eye-opener!
Praise the Lord that Ananias is obedient to God’s call with boldness and courage approaching the blind Saul and watching God’s miraculous healing power unfold. He has the coolest opportunity to say, ” Hey…you aren’t who you used to be and Jesus has some Big plans for you! Saul not only receives physical healing for his eyes but the eyes of his heart is opened. He experiences restored vision, becomes a new creation and even receives a new name….Paul! Paul continues the rest of his life focused on Jesus, walking in and with Extravagant Love.
~ Focus ~
Try not to blink – Try not to cry….Just Breathe
Don’t let another day pass you by….What will your answer be?
The Kingdom of Heaven has chosen your name….
calling you out of the ranks – removing you from the lines
Multitudes of people not focused- not understanding ….unwilling to bend or bow
Cowering in the corner
Running for cover
Because their complacent hearts has refused to Focus and come into alignment with the Lord’s Desires – His Heart- His Beautiful Perfect Love!
Souls refusing to be forged with glorious movement in Holy Spirit Power and the Lord’s refining Fire.
Focus on who you are-
who He has called you to be!
What He is asking you to do in these momentous
moments – seconds- minutes- hours and days of Holy Spirits pouring- out.
His Love and calling is more than you could possibly ask for or imagine.
What is He saying?
Are you willing to get really Focused on who you are, who He created you to be and how you are perfectly Loved…your giftings, assignments and everything He has for You…..
Wow…what would it look like to live each day like Jesus thinks and says we are? I know I want to be remembered for what matters most…the
love I left behind and those I walked, talked and helped along the way. Mirroring and mimicking the Heavens. Great Hope and encouragement with His thoughts and motives…pointing to the Greatest Love of all!
Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13
