Hebrews 12:2

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith...” Hebrews 12:2.

In the past 3 years, I shared many stories of my family and so now there are times where I can’t remember whether I shared certain stories already or not. But I’ll share this story regardless.

This happened when Hyemi and I were still in California, much before Sebin was born. One day we were driving out to downtown Los Angeles. I believe were heading out to a Korean market. Just a few blocks before arriving at the market place, we stopped at the red light. At the pedestrian crosswalk this woman was crossing the street. She seemed pretty, and so, ‘naturally,’ my eyes followed her as she was crossing the street.

Then came in the side jab from Hyemi and she said with a funny grin on her face, “Were you looking at her?” I looked at Hyemi with a guilty look. I had nothing to say and I just simply shrugged and smiled. Of course Hyemi didn’t take it seriously or anything, and we just laughed together, but it was a weird and funny moment. It was like, my wife is sitting right next to me and my eyes followed another woman for a split second.

I wonder if this is a illustration of us and Jesus. Of course we love Jesus and we are faithful to Him. We enjoy spending time with Him, but it’s also so easy for us take our eyes off of Him even for a split second. That’s how smart the devil is. We need to make sure that we don’t make that a habit of taking off our eyes from Jesus and be distracted.
