Discipleship grows us to the point of knowing God is there even when everything else tells us he's not.

Don't miss out on the beauty of your place of service by avoiding the risk of taking an adventure. Let God reveal something of himself as you open your eyes to the wonders you'll see and experience.

We receive not because we ask not. If we never seek God and his provision, then we have no excuse in our worry. Choosing to trust God and seeking his Kingdom first replaces worry with trust. When I live in trust, I can more easily give to others.

When I forget God, I forget the blessing of being called by the special name he gives me, Beloved. It's not too late to turn back. He's waiting with open arms.

Just as in childbirth, the sweet reward of thriving in a new culture helps us forget the pain of language learning and adjustment. Mark the moments of progress to encourage yourself and others.

Jesus uses a vivid illustration to remind us that there are some who are not ready to listen to the good news of the kingdom of God. Let him deal with those as you focus on the ones with hearts prepared to receive.

God's power is never simply revealed to prove his power, but to reveal his compassion and mercy. 

When you're struggling in service go back to the verses God used to speak to you in your missions journey. He will speak through them yet again, and when he does, take note.

Judging others without first taking a hard look at ourselves will always come back to bite us. We're better off leaving judgement to God.

Do you have questions about God? Lost your faith in the Church or Christianity? Take your complaints to the One who is ready to hear and respond instead of looking for answers in all the wrong places.
