Broken Focus
Some time ago, I wrote about broken focus and in this season it has come back to me as a reminder that I would like to share.
One day I put in my contacts and my left eye was irritating me. I could see, but I kept scratching the eye, putting in drops, blinking continuously, until I finally took the contact out. When I removed the contact I saw that it was actually ripped while being in my eye. Being a "contact newbie", I was amazed that even though it was torn I was able to see. Then God downloaded the term "broken focus" to me. He showed me I could see but I was spending too much time scratching, watering, pulling, rubbing and finagling with my eye. I was actually distracted while seeing.
Too often that is actually how we are living our lives with a broken focus. We are pulling for the approval or cooperation of people. We are being rubbed the wrong way by a situation or condition. We are waiting for a loved one to water our dreams with their support or encouragement. Broken focus.
