Susan LaffertySocial media fires up and spreads the latest controversy. Rumor and riot. Running viral through the internet.
Conspiracy theories take on a life of their own.
And the web confuses. Disorients with half-truths. Often hurtful and hateful.
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus.”
The simplest act. To move my gaze.
From the task. Pain. Problems. Ordinary ins and outs of every day.
It’s easy. No complicated checklist required.
And yet…
Jars filled with water. Outwardly common. Inwardly plain.
Others know what we’re made of. See the flaws. Rough edges. They remember the ordinary ways we walk and talk.
But we surrender. To the One who receives this offering.
Such as it is.
