A Sharpened Focus

Season of Lent: Day 22

Greetings to all. This weekend, let us not give in to pain and heartbreak, but embrace the vision they reveal.

None of us wants to go through pain, but Jesus, in His humanity, shows us how to endure suffering while keeping His focus on being with the Father in heaven. We should pay attention to where we set our focus. Turn our pain into purpose.

Hebrews 12:2 (KJV 1900)

2 Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Lesson: Even when pain is present, it can help us focus more on Jesus. Rather than fighting against pain and heartbreak, let us let these times turn our attention to Him, who shows us both sorrow and joy. Let pain and suffering bring us closer to Christ.
