Toothpicks for My Eyes
Fri, Jan 8, 2010
It’s nearly 2am and I am wishing I had toothpicks to prop my eyes open. My caffeine is starting to wear off. I have been working on my sermon for Sunday. All I keep thinking as I study is that Jesus did not come for us to commit part way. He came for us to commit completely to following Him and learning from Him.
There are so many distractions in this world, so many things that make you weary, so many things that steal your joy. It’s easy to allow the desires that war inside of us to rule our hearts rather than the peace and contentment of Christ. Jesus came to set us free, Jesus came to bring peace to the broken, freedom to the prisoners.
Get out the toothpicks! I’m fixing my eyes on the author and perfecter of my faith!
(I hope that makes sense – you shouldn’t write stuff at 2am)
