One Way

Where do you transfix your eyes? Christ tells us that there is only one way for us to spend eternity with Him, and that is THROUGH Him. Christ died for us, and yet we often turn to other means of temporary comfort to avoid facing ourselves. We find video games, the Internet, and reading magazines keep us from fully seeking God. We give ourselves over to these things as though they are the only way to a satisfied life. How much time do you spend looking at things on the Internet? How much time do you "facebook", mess with "myspace" or "xanga"? Do you shop when you're stressed? When bored do you play video games or watch tv shows you don't even care for? It's easy to do, but it is also deadly to our spiritual direction. There is ONE way, and that way is Christ. Where do you spend most of your time and to what do you put most of your effort into?

When we are weak...then we are strong. When you are weak and incapable, Christ intercedes for you -- giving you the strength and endurance you need. However if we choose to fix our eyes on a way other than Christ, then we will not see the light He shines, nor will we see His saving grace. We won't see that He has died for us, giving Himself up so that WE can spend eternity with Him. He loves you, and wants you to know HE is the only Way in life. Transfix your eyes, heart, and mind on Him...may your every breath worship Him!!
