To Michelle in Cincinnati, Ohio: Just turn your eyes upon Jesus. Open the Word and read a lot every day as you can and make it a priority to see Jesus. The more you "look into the perfect law of liberty", the more your understanding will open up and you will be able to know what to do. The Bible says that when we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, we will be saved. Then confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Savior!
It’s really that simple- turn your gaze to Jesus not circumstances- let his Lordship calm every anxiety and dispel any lie , fear and condemnation that comes your way ! Soon this world and all its struggles, pain and hardship will pass and a new order , rule and Kingdom will reign!
Please pray that God will give me the assurance I belong to Jesus and also the eyes to see Jesus. I grew up in church and I’m 41 years old and I doubt in my salvation for about 20 years and I need a new heart and people say I love to Jesus, but I feel like I don’t see him. I just see fox in the Bible sometimes I’m convicted of my sins but I need a heart to repent, and I am tired of religious activities and I need to know Jesus myself. Please pray that my soul turns to Jesus and then I can see him personally as my own Lord and savior. And trust Him
I didn't quite recall when I last hammed the hymn but while my Pastor was preaching on the theme "fix your thoughts on Jesus", this hymn sprung out into my consciousness. "Turn your eyes upon Jesus"... What more do we loose when we fail to heed this call.
As I reflect on my personal woes and hardship in a foreign country now, and with tears welled up in my eyes, I am reminded of the absolute power of Jesus when I focus my thoughts on Him. Helps me, and every one else, Oh Lord, that we can fix our eyes on you alone.
As we practice losing our soul-life in this age and go through sufferings and trials, the proving of our faith is being found unto praise, glory, and honor, and this will result in the receiving the end of our faith – the salvation of our souls. Hallelujah, what a sweet promise! 😀
Turn your eyes upon Jesus is one of my most beloved songs, and always a go to. The song is very moving and pierces my heart every time, and keeps me grounded in the love of the Lord. I ponder this song over and over in my heart, and I am so thankful for the invitation to, “turn my eyes upon Jesus”.
"looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
