And God should be that one thing and He is. But I'm asking Him for another. Something, one thing, I can focus on here on earth. The overriding purpose in my life. Fulfilling His plans for me. Instead of trying to keep everything in focus.
I think of Jesus and His desire to save us. And Paul's heart for the Gentiles. And the missionaries who are called to a specific country, a specific peoples.

Five minutes may not be long, but it does force you to focus!
Do you have one focus (apart from God) or do you feel fragmented like I do, passionate about many things?
Another 5-minute writing adventure with Lisa-Jo and the Five Minute Friday community.

I understand wanting to have the focus here on earth . . . that thing that you feel purpose for . . . that God has called you to do. Have you read the book, Wrecked, by Jeff Goins? I think you might just LOVE that book. Thanks for sharing today. I like your new meme!
Hi Andrea - I'm visiting from Five-Minute Friday. Your post resonates with me as I am passionate about many things, yet desiring that the Lord would show me what He wants to be my focus.
Heading over to check out your September 13 post.
Blessings,
Joan
My first time to come by! Lovely post. Thank you for sharing with us! All the things to focus on, the noise and jumbled lives, it's so important to see the trueness of Him.
Happy to be here!
nice post thanks for sharing the 5 minutes friday...looking for to visit more..blessings
You have a beautiful heart.
Your post is so honest. Sometimes in FMF it seems people say what you should say. Not what they feel. Don't we all want a specific focus on earth, a mission. Thank you for your honesty.
I couldn't have asked for a better blog. You happen to be always at hand to offer excellent guidance, going straight away to the point for easy understanding of your site visitors. You're really a terrific pro in this subject matter. Many thanks for being there visitors like me.
