no blurry vision

I'm reading Elisabeth Elliot's book, A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael, (it's EXCELLENT!) and wanted to share a little quote with you:

"Her great longing was to have a 'single eye' for the glory of God. Whatever might blur the vision God had given her of His work, whatever could distract or deceive or tempt others to seek anything but the Lord Jesus Christ Himself she tried to eliminate. Why waste precious time, painful effort, on lesser things?" (pg. 84).

Father, thank you for truly holding the world in your hands. Please lift us on your shoulders to get your perspective. Stamp eternity on our eyes, please Lord!
