When we say that we have surrendered everything to God, is that really true? I am not going to go too deep into this today, let's just focus on one simple thing but surely an important one. Are our eyes consecrated to God as well as other parts? Who do your eyes belong to? What are we looking at? Seriously, think about this for a moment. What are you looking at? I am not referring to us looking at other humans alone, is everything else as well...everything our eyes look at will in one way or another affect us now or later. Any image whether is in real life or through film, pictures, drawings or any other format could seriously affect our thoughts and our heart even if it's just for a split second it stays with us, sometimes...forever. This issue has existed in humanity from the very beginning. Let's remember Eve, "The woman could see that the tree was beautiful and the fruit looked so good to eat..." Genesis 3:6 She looked at the tree, something God had already warned them to stay away from. It must have been way more than just a quick, innocent glance because she was able to tell that the tree was beautiful and that its fruit looked delicious. We all know what happened after that. Let's keep our eyes focused on God and him alone!! If we can't do that, what makes us think we could handle our hearts? What are you looking at?
