out of focus




...and heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss/ my heart turns violently inside of my chest/ i don't have time to maintain these regrets/ when i think about the way he loves me.
-john mark mcmillon


GOD is a genius.
he designed it so that we would fall in love with him.
we would be so infatuated by HIM that all we see is him.
we would not have the time to remember our past, dwell on our future or obsess over today.

when we lose focus of HIM we see ourselves.
we see our glory,
our pride,
our shame,
our plans...
WE come into focus.

when we are in focus we lose HOPE, JOY, FAITH, PEACE, PATIENCE, and any other thing that is good.
WHY?? because these are grown out of GOD's love inside of us. we cannot attain these out of self-pity, pride, desperation or even trying. these are HIS gift to us.


are you in focus?
or is he?
