..so to speak. And do that in what direction? In the direction of the Son. Jesus Christ, you're indeed the most beautiful Person there is. I pray my friends can see You as You really are so like me they will fall in love with, or intentionally re-fall in love with You all over again.
Beautiful? The Bible says, "He (Jesus) grew up before Him (God the Father) like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.."
Kurt, what was so stunningly attractive or majestic-lookin' 'bout His robed physical appearance when He walked all those dusty trails with His disciples down here? Nothing really. But does that really matter? Nope. Who He really is does. Yes, take a closer look at this Person today. We Christians still find Him to be most beautiful personality there is. None compare to Him, and nothing compares to relating to Him. You will too find Him that way if you refocus for He kind and really.. the only Way.
Ask yourself.. Doesn't everybody seem to be pretty much focused on something these days? Sure they are, unless they're already facin' upwards towards the plush-velvet upholstery inside on a dark coffin door? Sure they are unless they're already bit the dust, been knocked off, kicked the bucket, become worm-food, reached room-temp. But perhaps this is a painful subject for you right now cuz you've recently lost a loved one? So sorry about that if you have. I have too. But God by His living Word.. now gives me hope, and joy, peace and love, and a real inner assurance for a great reunion ahead and I want you to have that as well.
You know that during the details, doldrums, daily-routine, flat out drudgery or everyday distractions of your spiritual journey in this life here, it is way too easy to look right on past the importance of relationship with the Son who can actually give you abundant life–real Life during life.

I pray that you hit the pause button and take the time to take a break from the normal labor and go on a stroll or somethin'.. to converse straightforward with Christ who really cares about you and your future. Why not? He's the One who can touch, heal, and mend your brokenhearted if you have one. He's the only One who can give you new hope ..for He is a living hope. Yes, I pray that you'll stop..perhaps a 'lil longer than you normally stop.. to focus not on phone notifications, or texts, not on other friends who might even be good influences on you, but to focus on God the Son today.. yeah, the Bible One (the only true bona fide Diety there is).. to focus in a fresh, new, and non-religious kinda way.
