Found this from a sermon on a website - it's the account by Charles Spurgeon of his conversion experience, and it's interesting to think about
[referring to Isaiah 45:22 - "Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other."]
“But then the text says, ‘Look unto Me’. . . . Many of ye are lookin’ to yourselves, but it’s no use lookin’ there. Ye will never find any comfort in yourselves. Some look to God the father. No, look to him by-and-by. Jesus Christ says, ‘Look unto Me.’ Some of ye say, ‘We must wait for the Spirit’s workin’.’ You have no business with that just now. Look to Christ. The text says, ‘Look unto Me.’”

Think I've quoted this before as well, but it seems quite apt -
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace'
