We know that Jesus continuously looked at God throughout His life and this fellowship with God was the source of everything in His ministry.
We also know that we are to look at God and our inward fellowship with God will be the source of everything in our lives, including our leadership.
The Holy Spirit is living in your heart. He reveals God to you. So, inwardly, turn to Him. In your heart look at Him in every situation. Whatever you’re going through, look at Him. He is always there.
Look at Him with love, with surrender, with worship, with dependency. Talk to Him, listen to Him.
Look at Him in the good times; look at Him in the bad. Look at Him when you feel like it; look at Him when you don’t.
Tell Him what you’re going through, what you need, what you think you know, what you don’t know. Tell Him everything. And listen to Him. Always listen to Him.
Open your heart for His conviction, for His encouragement, for Him to express His love for you, for Him to guide you.
Whatever you’re going through, turn to Him in your heart, look at Him, love Him and listen to Him.
In your heart, turn from relying on your own wisdom and strength. Express your inability to do anything of value without Him!
As you look at Him you will be changed day by day, more and more, into His image.
