A Word from your Father in Heaven 
Day 41

MY CHILD,  

Fix your eyes on Jesus. Do not allow yourself to be distracted. He is your only hope. People become filled with despair, because as they get older they lose hope in institutions, in churches, in others, in solutions, in plans. Will you be like them, or will you focus the basis of your heart and hope in Him? 

Focus on Jesus -- the Jesus in you,
the Jesus in others,
the Jesus that is almighty,
the Jesus that keeps his word.

Focus on Jesus -- all the time
do not let your focus be on anyone else,
do not let your focus be on anything else,
adjust your mind, so in every situation, focus on Jesus. 
He is the source of your faith.

He is the leader of your faith,
He is the founder of your faith,
He is your faith.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, so He can guide, instruct, and build you up. Keep your eyes on Him not only as an instructor, but as an example.

Yes, He chose to suffer. He did not have to, but his sufferings were according to his anticipated joy and rewards. He saw, and anticipated the joy set before Him,
the joy of My pleasure,
the joy of redeemed saints in heaven,
the joy of reigning,
the joy of victory over the evil one,
the joy of finishing and accomplishing what He came to do,
the joy of My praise and fellowship.

And seeing this, He was willing to endure the Sufferings of the cross, the
shame of the cross, the rebuke of sinners against Him.

In this world, you will have tribulation, but you can win. You can overcome, you can receive the crown of life. Keep your eyes on Jesus, your instructor and example, and you will win in life's race, and receive your reward. Remember, in all the struggle I will not leave you, or forsake you. I will either deliver you from it, or walk through it with you.

I love you,
Your Father who awaits you
