Fix My Eyes

For King & Country has a song called Fix My Eyes... I've heard it multiple times and can hum along with it. The chorus hit me in a totally different place this week than it ever has... It's a song about what he'd tell the younger version of himself if he could:

I'd love like I'm not scared,

Give when it's not fair,

Live life for another,

Take time for a brother.

Fight for the weak one,

Speak out for freedom,

Find faith in the battle,

Stand tall but above it all,

Fix my eyes

On You....

... The things of earth are dimming

In the light of Your glory and grace

I'll set my sights upon Heaven

I'm fixing my eyes on You...

Sometimes I just need to be reminded. If my eyes are fixed on Jesus, things of earth grow dim. It's so much easier to love like I'm not scared of what may happen. To give, even when it's not "fair". 

I'm fixing my eyes on You, Lord.

...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith...

Hebrews 12:2a

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

Isaiah 26:3
