    Although we know that we should cultivate an attitude of Gratitude to God and to Man, the problem is that we are more inclined to grumble and complain, while there may be ten things for which we be Grateful for, we tend to focus on the one thing that irks us.

     | 675 views

    Jesus wants us to be people who bring light into the world. To do this, we need to be careful about what we allow into our hearts and minds. The things we see and focus on can either bring light or darkness into our lives.

    Our eyes play a big role in shaping our desires and actions. Jesus talks about this when he addresses the sin of adultery. He emphasizes the importance of where we look, as it can lead us down a path of darkness. Often, temptation starts with a glance, but if we're not careful, it can turn into ...read more
