Everything Points to Jesus, He Is the Center
When Jesus is at the center, faith stops revolving around disputes and the heart finds direction in God.
Devotional
Many times, the heart gets lost in religious arguments and ideas that sound spiritual. Little by little, Jesus can be mentioned often while no longer holding the central place within us.
In John 16:14, Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, “He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
This word helps us recognize the path of faith. The Holy Spirit leads the heart to Christ. He teaches us to look at Jesus more clearly and to notice when other things have started taking too much space.
When Jesus is moved away from the center, faith can become heavy. We may defend opinions, seek recognition, and forget the love that comes from Him. This can happen quietly, in daily life, in conversations, and even in our good intentions.
Returning to Jesus means allowing Him to order the heart. It means letting His truth correct our motives and teach us to live before the Father with sincerity.
Every day, we need to ask what has been taking the center of our life. If Christ is at the center, everything else finds its proper place.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, take the center of our life. Guard our hearts from distractions that draw us away from You, and teach us to walk with sincerity before the Father. In Jesus’ name, amen.
