What Are You Looking at Now?

Beloved,
are you looking at thorns?
If there are many thornbushes before you,
you will be pricked by their thorns.
Are you looking at the flowers in full bloom before you?
You will bear fruit.
What lies thick before you now—
always give your attention to that first.
Do not look at people; look at me, for I am your strength.
If you look at people, you will surely fall.
