I lean not on my own understanding. My life is in the hands of the maker of Heaven.

There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.

Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe God is more to be desired than life itself.

Look for Christ and you will find Him. And with Him, everything else.

Do we realize that everything on earth is temporary, and our lives are like fleeting shadow? Then, why would we desire things of this earth when we could instead have an eternal relationship with our Heavenly Father? Let the desire of our heart be to know, love and live to God and to please Him and to be pleased in Him so we really can find joy in Him alone. 📷: @soughtandsow

God has seen our unloveliness—the deep brokenness and rebellion in our hearts—and instead of withdrawing, He pursues us to the beautiful end.

The enemy wants you to be afraid tonight. Not the healthy kind of fear that keeps us safe. No, the horrible kind of fear that whispers worst-case scenarios, absent of hope and haunted by hurt. With death on his breath fear says, “Entertain my entanglements. Linger in my lies. And drink deeply from my darkness.” While we’re distracted with fear, the enemy pickpockets our purpose. Cripples our courage. Dismantles our dreams. And blinds us to the beauty of the Lord’s great plans. On the surface it may not seem like your assignment is all that important. But it is! You are to bring forth and proclaim the name of Jesus. Proclaiming the name of Jesus brings power, protection and a perspective that crushes fear. It is the name above every other. Yes, there is power in the name of Jesus.
