I recently ran into this little ditty while I was reading a magazine.  I thought it is a great Idea think about. 

It reads, Life is like a camera. Focus on what matters the most. Capture what makes you happy. Develop from the negative. If things don’t work out, always take another shot.

Almost every line is a pun, which I love, but I also think the message is special. There are many times we try to accomplish something where we work hard, give it special attention, think it is what we really need (or want), but it just doesn’t turn out the way we had intended.

Do we just quit and think, “What’s the use?” or do we attend to another old adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”.

This certainly applies to our relationship with our Lord.  He may think the same thing about us.  He has tried many times to have us focus on what matters most, (a life following His word), live a life which makes us happy (a life following Him), learn from the sins we commit (ask for His forgiveness) and try again to be better (by following Him).

There seem to be a common thread here, I think. Jesus is the only way. He is the truth and the life. If you choose Him, you will have life. He will help you live the way you should. He will be the inspiration for everything you do.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14: 6

God loves us unconditionally!! Thanks be to God!
