Yesterday, we talked about swapping our usual list of New Year’s resolutions for the simple, yet profound desire to be more like Jesus.⁣ ⁣ Of course, the big question is, “How do I do that?”⁣ ⁣ Because, let’s be honest, that’s a heck of a lofty goal. He’s way up there *gestures at sky* and we’re way down here *gestures at ground*.⁣ ⁣ But although he’s God, Jesus didn’t set an unattainable standard while he was on Earth. In fact, he was pretty practical in how he expressed his love for God and for other people.⁣ ⁣ Rather than stressing about how we’re not exactly like the Perfect Man, here are some everyday things we can do to better align ourselves with Jesus’ example.⁣ ⁣ ❤️ Get familiar with the Word by reading the Bible⁣ 🧡 Smile and say “hi” when you meet a stranger⁣ 💛 Keep snacks in your bag to give folks on the street⁣ 💚 Say “sorry” when you know you’re wrong⁣ 💙 Thank God for taking care of you before eating⁣ 💜 Add an extra 2% when you give (or start giving!)⁣ ⁣ See? Not scary or hard, right? We can do this.⁣ ⁣ 💬 What other things could you do to live, love, and look more like Jesus in 2020? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #itwondersme#soulscripts#daughterofdelight#shereadstruth#womenintheword#propelwomen#gritandvirtue#christianblog#faithblog#christianwoman#christianliving#nothingisordinary#belovedlife#graceupongrace#chooselovely#dailydevotional#goodgod#gracemakers#wellwateredwomen#shewritestruth#scripture#gospel#newyearseve#resolutions#practical#jesusislord#infographic (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vY-R_lKe2/?igshid=ldi37c9rrpl7

A repost from #daughterofdelight I couldn't keep this post to myself. These words taken from @daughterofdelight. "I am a very non-confrontational person. The slightest bit of awkward tension and I feel myself trying to back out of situations. I think oftentimes, as Christians, we are more concerned with being politically correct than we are with being Biblically correct. Tiptoeing around biblical truths, so afraid to offend someone’s way of living. The truth is, when it comes to sharing Jesus, we will offend people. The Gospel asks for people to change and that might be a hard pill to swallow at times. In Luke 21:12-19, Jesus warns that people will be angry at His message. In verse 17. he tells us, "You will be hated by all for my name's sake" (ESV). When concern for “keeping things pleasant” keeps you from talking about Jesus, we might need a heart check. It’s unfortunate that we become timid and shy when it comes to sharing Jesus with others because not only does it glorify God, but it’s the single most important and awesome thing we can share with someone! A famous atheist, Penn Jillette, once said, “how much do you have to hate someone to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?” OUCH. How true is that statement?! If someone was driving towards a cliff, wouldn’t we shout and scream and tell them to stop? If we didn’t lead others away from danger, it would be hateful. Sister, why is it so much easier to tell people about our new favorite restaurant or TV show, but not the Gospel? Sharing temporary pleasures instead of eternal truths. Choosing personal comfort over life-changing eternal promises. I’m not saying go out and start getting confrontational with people. Although we are all sinners, there is a way we should share Jesus with others. We should always be sensitive to another person’s thoughts and feelings, sharing truth in love. When we walk in the Spirit, we approach others motivated by love, meeting people where they are... just how Jesus first did with us. Let’s walk boldly, courageously and unashamed!"

PSA: No matter how you messed up this holiday season—no matter how many (dozen) cookies you ate or who you yelled at during family dinner or how jealous you were of other people’s presents—you aren’t too far gone for God. His love for you isn’t dependent on good behaviour, and His mercies are new each day. ⁣ ⁣ That means you don’t have to wait for January 1 to start over! ⁣ Right here, right now, take everything you’re ashamed of straight to Him and receive a glorious fresh start in return. No shame, no condemnation—just grace.⁣ ⁣ “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” [Lam 3:22-23 ESV]⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #itwondersme#soulscripts#daughterofdelight#shereadstruth#womenintheword#propelwomen#gritandvirtue#christianblog#faithblog#christianwoman#christianliving#nothingisordinary#belovedlife#graceupongrace#chooselovely#dailydevotional#goodgod#gracemakers#wellwateredwomen#shetheroar#scripture#gospel#psa#hope#holidayblues#startover#freshstart#forgiveness (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6n06j4lgRr/?igshid=1sdax1s1u7biq
