What's my focus?

I don't know about you but I have noticed that when my focus is off, everything is off. I have to constantly check my perspective and focus in life. I used to keep a journal and would notice that when things were bad or off, it started mostly because my focus got off track. This is an attempt to consolidate my thoughts on this matter.

If I fixate on what other people say about who I am, I will be left with hurt, pain and emptiness.
     If I focus on what God says me, I will be able to give thanks and appreciate who He has made me to be.

If I fixate on my own abilities, I will feel inadequate and overwhelmed.
     If I focus on what God has already done for me, I will recognize and see the security and confidence He        provides.

If I fixate on money, I will never have enough and always be in want.
     If I focus on what God says about money, I will see it as though everything I have is His and He is much    more able than I am.

If I fixate on what the world says I should be, I will eventually change who I am to fit their mold.
     If I focus on what God says I should be, I will live my life through the convictions He has taught me.

If I focus on what society says about Church, I will likely see it as pointless and nonessential.
     If I look at the church the way God sees it, I will recognize she is His bride and will respect her.

If I fixate on my problems I will experience worry and stress and grief.
     If I focus on what God says about troubles and difficulties, I will see opportunity and grow in what He brings me through.. time and time again.

If I fixate on what the world says about people and interpersonal relationships, I will see them as dispensable.
     If I focus on what God says about people in my life I will see them as valuable, precious and worthy of investment.

If I fixate on my past, I will always see defeat, loss, and pain,
     If I focus on what God says about my here, now and future I will see potential.

If I fixate on the things this world sees as valuable, I will be chasing a life that is wasted and empty of meaningful things.
     If I focus on what God says is valuable I will see the eternal, big picture.

If I fixate on me, I will see flaws, wounds, unworthiness, and a mess.
     If I focus my attention on God, I will see His Son who took on my scars. I will see a father who loves His children, unconditionally. I will see love, joy, peace and hope that passes all understanding.

My prayer today is that I see my life through the eyes of the one who created me and created this world, through the eyes of the one who sees that world in its entirety.
