Single Mindset

This passage and text is from my devotions this morning.

Matthew 6:22 
"The light of the body is the eye:
 if therefore thine eye be single, 
thy whole body shall be full of light."

"If mine eye be single"

Interpretations:
-single in relationship
-serving one master
-focused on one goal

I am single, but having a single mindset is not about a relationship status. Its not about having a boyfriend, or a husband; that's just the facts of being single. But, if I have a single-mindset according to scripture, I would be....

  • In a relationship with Christ - He is my beloved. He is the one who loves me, in my worst of times; and in my lowest of times. He cares for me and wants the best for me. He's promised that He will never leave me! and He loved me so much, He sent His only son to the cross to die for me

  • Focused on serving Christ - Instead of serving myself, or Satan. (Matthew 6:24) There are things that I have to do to keep myself (granted), but serving myself is not my main goal. Serving Christ in all I do, in all I say, in all I think
and,
  • He is my only goal - He is the only thing that matters. (Matthew 6:25) And in reality this is true. There is nothing in this world that can compare to HIM.
