God is so Amazing and so Good! I have a dear friend who has been seemingly losing her battle to breast cancer. As I was journaling this morning I was telling Jesus how I felt about this battle losing ground. This lady is a wonderful warrior for Him so why was He allowing her to continue to decline? Well, when I asked Him what He wanted me to know for today, He simply reminded me that life goes on, but each life comes to an end. I had to process that a moment, but when I did I could easily see His meaning.

At the top of my prayer list I have written, “Eyes on Christ alone”. My journaling this morning was expressing what my eyes on this friend wanted said. Christ was wanting me to move my eyes from her to Him. As I did this I could see the impact this friend has had on so many lives. My selfish request was far more about me wanting her to continue to be a vibrant part of my life now.

God sees all of His creation and as best as possible, He wants me (each of us) to see His bigger picture about “life” verses each individual life. He has paved a way for each of us to come to Him for eternity. He wants each of us to stay focused on those He’s placed in our lives who still need to see Him as their Savior and Lord. We can only do this when our eyes are kept on Christ alone.
