“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth” (Colossians 3:2).  What you focus on will break you or shape you.  It can make you whole or make you unhealthy.  It can make you sane or crazy.  It can bring you to a new and better place or it can leave you in despair.  We can focus on our decaying body or we can focus on inner renewal.  We can be dragged around by the temporal or we can hook our wagon to the eternal.  Turn your eyes upon Jesus!  

“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day.  For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
