And, little by little, what you return to begins to shape the way you see your life. Psalm 34:5 says, “They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.” The change in that verse begins with where they looked. It is possible to spend a whole day beholding a shortcoming: replaying a failure, measuring yourself against someone else, or studying every reason you might not be enough. The answer is not to pretend that weakness is strength. The answer is to change the center of your attention—to look again at God, at what He has done
