Tunnel Vision

My friend has tunnel vision. He had surgery and now his peripheral vision is gone. He kind of sees straight ahead only. I am praying and believing it will come back. Today though the Holy Spirit put a thought in my mind as I wrestled with Him over the situation. I tend to get distracted so often by what is "on the sides" of the main thing, Christ. I have too much on my plate, in my mind, on my planner, over my head and under my concern.

Thanks to the conveniences of life like computers, microwaves and ipods I can squeeze alot into my day. Cram it full. I can see and do alot. Jesus said to Martha, "She has chosen the better" To have tunnel vision and fix her eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of her faith. The lover of her soul.

So my friend reminded me that (A) I hate physical infirmaties and (B) I grieve for him and (C) I need to fix my gaze on Jesus and quit looking out of the corner of my eyes. I need help. I need the Holy Spirit to do more then put the thought in my mind. I need Him to transfoem my mind. I pray he would.
