look away to the Perfect One

"I have a great need for Christ;

I have a great Christ for my need."

- Charles Haddon Spurgeon

"Tozer once said,

'Like the eye which sees everything in front of it

and never sees itself,

faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests

and pays no attention to itself at all.

While we are looking at God,

we do not see ourselves- blessed riddance.

The man who has struggled to purify himself

and has had nothing but repeated failures

will experience real relief

when he stops tinkering with his soul

and looks away to the Perfect One.

'Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable

and receives the impossible."

- Corrie Ten Boom
