Why be limited by our own potential? Even our best efforts fall far short of our true capacity. We have God's guarantee of limitless capacity for spreading joy, bringing light, sharing provision, and living abundantly. The story of a little boy bringing a meager lunch of fish and bread to Jesus shows what God consecrates can become enough for all. #LimitlessCapacity #messiahyl

How concerned are you about the future? When it comes to having enough, how much is enough? It depends on priority, of course. Godliness is a God focused, forward-thinking approach. Godliness and contentment are where peace comes from...not complacency, but joy from making eternal investments. All we have comes from God. My blessings and my generosity show my responsive heart. #EnoughIsEnough #messiahyl

Our ability, intellect, and good looks, or lack thereof, are not a qualification for being a child of God. We are capable people and disciples solely on our relationship...a life of love, purpose, and belonging is ours despite human acceptance. We are fit and ordained for service with all our infirmities and diseases. #WhoGodLoves #messiahyl

You may be working harder than needed...if you're doing things to earn God's favor! You're already enough...just as you are. Striving to do what is right is our aim, but it doesn't bring more love. You are already loved, you are already accepted. There isn’t one person in this world that I want more than I want you. –God #WeAllNeedJesus #messiahyl

An amazing race we are...and an amazing race we are in. The human race is one global family. It is smaller, more connected, and more integrated than ever before. We are all on one shared journey: a finite life together, a hope for peace, and the pursuit of lasting love. Language barriers are transcended by the unifying force which is love of God flowing down to us and then to others. #OneInTheSpirit #messiahyl

Do we strive to shape God into our image (what we expect and want)? How might we better reflect our creaturely status—to honor who God is and what God does? We were created male and female in God's image, and God said it was "VERY GOOD!" Humankind was established as the world's most valuable piece of creation with responsibility to be good stewards of everything else. We are image bearers of God love; extending our creator's embrace for the entire world. This is a divine and sacred task. #ImagoDei #messiahyl

How comfortable are you? Is stability and avoiding change an everyday goal? What if God wants us to go to Mars Hill? How does living into our faith spur us to equip ourselves to go out and turn this world upside down? When death becomes resurrection and life, the world is turned upside down. When grace is our gift, received and given, the world is turned upside down. #UpsideDown #YouWin #messiahyl

Things happen in the name of Jesus. While on earth, Jesus cast demons from a man into pigs; later Peter healed a crippled man and raised a young girl from the dead...all in Jesus name. Jesus is the cornerstone, the ebenezer (stone of help) on which we our saved. The wideness of God's love is beyond our comprehension. His name gives courage through times as tough as cancer. No longer afraid, I wanna be in the room where it happens. #SoHealed #messiahyl

What is the story that shapes your life and thinking? Is it all about gracious living? Follow your passion, chart your own course, follow your dreams...does that story give you the guidelines for success? The story of individualism affects and infects us all. The JESUS story is a story with the Spirit of the living God and losing yourself for the greater good...and find joy! #OpenHearts #MyJesusStory #messiahyl

True empowerment is the Holy Spirit's gift to followers of Jesus. The world drops challenging circumstances, foists negative attitudes, and creates distracting reasons to become de-motivated. Jesus knew that we needed help and today we celebrate the Holy Spirit come down to earth and to us at Pentecost. Pay attention...listen to God's Holy Spirit; it's going to get better. #onfire #spiritfilled #messiahyl
