Today I am going to let Helen H. Lemmel’s words from 1922 be my word to you. If you aren’t familiar with this, it’s from the hymn Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.

O soul, are you weary and troubled?




No light in the darkness you see?

There’s light for a look at the Savior,

And life more abundant and free!

Refrain:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of his glory and grace.

Persevere each day by keeping your eyes on Jesus.

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

For 20+ years, I’ve been writing about following Jesus Christ and making choices based on what is true, beautiful, and eternal. Through purposeful living, self-employment, and homeschooling, our family has learned that freedom comes from a commitment to thoughtfully examine all of life and think for yourself.
