Fix Our Eyes on Jesus

"Let's throw off any extra baggage, get rid of the sin that trips us up, and fix our eyes on Jesus, faith's pioneer and perfecter." (Hebrews 12:1,2) -- my, my, these thoughts come to me frequently. We accumulate so much baggage..not just material stuff but emotional, mental stuff. Hurt feelings, terrifying experiences that leave us afraid, negative voices that counteract good, positive thoughts. Well moments of meditation, quiet, restful, maybe sometimes fun times bring restoration. But most important refocusing our attention on Christ who pioneered for us genuine faith living. Well, today things are not likely to go 100% like we want but just cast aside what is not worth keeping and get on down the road of God's blessings.
