Jesus Focused
Jesus has captured my gaze.
Let Him capture yours too!
To be single focused on Jesus is to be focused on love itself. To be single focused on Jesus is to be persuaded by His Word, allowing it to paint a picture of hope and transform your life. May these words based on Scripture help you to focus your attention on Him, and give you an experience of abundant life.
