Quote by Traci LaRussa

May our eyes focus rightly on Christ ... before the need to please others, before church, and before the busyness of Christian life. Those things will surely have their place, but they will be most valuable if put in their proper position.

May our eyes focus rightly on Christ ... before the need to

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of keeping our focus on Christ above all else. It suggests that instead of prioritizing the opinions of others, religious institutions, or the busy day-to-day activities of being a Christian, our eyes should be fixated on Christ. While these aspects of faith have their significance, they are most meaningful when they are placed in their rightful position, with Christ at the center. This mindset prioritizes the relationship with Christ and acknowledges that all other aspects of the Christian life derive their value from this foundation.
