The Lover Of Your Soul

Instead of us always trying to fix ourselves, and make things better, and trying to fill in the pieces, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Lover of our Souls. We need to focus our gaze on Him, and Him alone. It's then that we find all that we need, and truly get satisfied. It's His love that fills us, makes us whole. And it's in Him that we find all that we need. "Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame." - Psalm 34:5 As long as we keep our eyes on Him, we won't sink. It's so easy for me to get nervous and anxious about all the different things going on in life, and my future and not knowing what anything that lays ahead holds. And it's so easy to get wrapped up inside that worry. But if my eyes are on Jesus, none of that other stuff seems to even matter, because I only want what He wants for me. My whole life I've always had this one dream. It's never really seemed to change. But the more I wanted my life to be to His glory, my dream kinda began to shift. It was still the same general idea, just a shift in purpose. And that's exactly the point. I want my purpose of living to be the simple reason of bringing glory to His name. He created me with a plan in mind, and I'm so excited for the crazy journey I know He's gonna take me on. I know it won't be easy all the time, but that's why my eyes will be on Him, the Lover of My Soul. And sometimes things have to get harder before they get easier. Each day is just another opportunity for me to get closer and closer to Him, as He's shaping, using, changing, and molding me into the person I was created to be. That sounds super cheesy and cliche, but it's so true. So instead of my trying to fix myself all the time, I'm just gonna fix my eyes on Jesus, the Lover of My Soul
