Caden held my face very close to his today with his sweet little hands. He said, "Mommy, I can see me in your eyes!" We just sat for a few minutes staring into the eyes of the other and smiling from ear to ear. There was something about that moment that will stay close to my heart for a long time.
God wants us to draw near to Himself. In Hebrews 12:2 scripture tells us, "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus." How can we do that in a world that is constantly competing for our eyes to be on everything but our precious Lord. For me I need to make a every effort to turn away from the things of this world and think on Him. It may be by keeping the TV off and reading through old hymns, praying for my children while I am making their lunches for the day, remembering that He is there with me as I am driving to the grocery store, asking Him to speak through me as someone comes to my gate, and getting on my knees and talking with Him before the day begins.
Take the time today to hold Him close as He holds you even closer.
Hebrews 12:1-2 "Therefore since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of God's throne."
