Eyes on the Prize.

Everyone has distinct goals, things they want to accomplish in life. Within these goals there will always be obstacles almost as if trying to keep us away from what we want & you may ask why. Everything we want in life will not be given to us we must conquer it, there is a price we have to pay in order for us to achieve and take possession of these goals. It all depends on how much we want it and what we are willing to go through to get it.

"We must keep our eyes on Him
and He will also keep his eyes on us"

Now lets apply this to our lives with God our spiritual goals, and put our salvation as our goal we have to reach; maintaining a relationship with Him,  living a life of obedience to His word, and putting His will over ours.


We can receive our salvation by Faith but we have to keep our salvation, of course it will not be easy because everything we have to do in order to keep our salvation will go against our desires, our wants, our flesh but it is a price we have to pay.
By us living against this world's customs and doings will provoke people, friends and family specially, to throw words of doubt like, "your wasting your life, you need to have fun your young." and to the single saying, "Your gonna end up being a nun" or they may even laugh at your face. My own mother told me I was going to be a nun, but I know what I am fighting for, I trust in God I know that there is a time and day and He will direct me. 
I used those words as fuel to keep me going and kept my eyes on God, a prize worth hearing any word or confronting any situation, so be sure that there will be many obstacles, barriers  and temptations but we must keep our eyes on Him and He will also keep His eyes on us.  
How much do you want it?


 Chronicles 16:9: "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth
to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him."


Keeping your eyes on Him- not listening to negative comments, only to His words, 
trusting Him through  the thick and thin, not caring what others have to say about your faith....
