Look at me

My son and I were performing some sort of balancing act while trying to accomplish a rather simple task. He kept getting off balance and almost falling.
It was such an easy command on my part.
Evidently it was rather hard to follow.
"Look at me" was all I said. When Joshua's eyes caught mine, he was in total balance. Take his eyes away from my intensely tender gaze and he was falling all over himself.
What a dizzying display of dance we offered.

My iWitness...

It's three simple words.

Like most three word phrases, it is hard to say and employ in our daily life.
You've heard of some of these three word phrases...

I love you...
   I need help...
      You are forgiven...
         Please forgive me...
            I am sorry...
               I'm a sinner...
                     I was wrong...
                        You are right...

Jesus offers this three word command.... "Look at me..."

Do you want to know what God looks like? Jesus says, "Look at me."
Do you ever wonder if you are able to forgive someone who has hurt you? Jesus says, "Look at me."
Do I really need to pray? Jesus says, "Look at me."
How can I know God's will? Jesus says, "Look at me."
I enjoy pointing out people's shortcomings? Jesus says, "Look at me."
My eyes are being seduced by a certain type of lifestyle. Jesus says, "Look at me."
I find myself longing to live someone else's life. Jesus says, "Look at me."
I keep searching the internet for more graphic porn. Jesus says, "Look at me."
Texting and Facebook allow me to communicate, but how do I connect? Jesus says, "Look at me."
One more party and one more drink then I will go home. Jesus says, "Look at me."
I will never get out of this mess. Jesus says, "Look at me."
Do you want to know who still loves you, adores you and believes that "you are all that and more," no matter how far off the highway of life you have driven yourself? Jesus says, "Look at me."
Are you looking for someone who accepts you just as you are? Jesus says, "Look at me."


Dear Lord,
I need your strength and will  and focus to be able to look at you while I stand in front of my morning mirror with my mind and heart screaming at the top of their lungs, "Look at me!"
Amen...

The old hymn says it best...

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

"Let us fix our eyes upon Jesus..." (Hebrews 12. 2)

And let the dance begin...

And that's my iWitness...
Laugh often and Fear not!
David!
