When a teacher says "eyes on me,” it signals that distracated students must refocus back on the teacher. When I focus on eternal things, everything that would distract and all the life drama becomes less important, fuzzy, and blurry. It is background noise when I look at Jesus. Turn your eyes upon Jesus by Helen H. Lemmel

God is a Heavenly Father

God can take hurt and turn it into something good. He brings blessings from the hardest places. He forgives and helps me to forgive others. He gives power to overcome bitterness and hatred. In an uncertain world, His promises are sure. He will never leave or forsake me.
