"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." -- Hebrews 12:1-2

When I was a little girl, I remember watching my grandma’s finger trace over the worn page of a weathered hymnal. My eyes followed the lyrics as her tremulous voice sang out, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His marvelous face. And the things on Earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”

Times change, but the song’s wisdom stands, echoing Hebrews 12: “Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor.” The only One worthy of worship and praise.

In a world full of brokenness and beauty, I pray my children and the people around me see me bowed in wonder and gratitude before One who holds all of it. Fixing our eyes upon Jesus, may we offer legacies of righteousness and peace that will last generations.
