Sometimes things are so difficult, you can't imagine moving forward.

I want to encourage you to humble yourself to hear from God, cry out to Him, be obedient to His Word, and be encouraged.

It's not about you. The world would say otherwise. The world would lead you to believe it is all about you. You were actually created for God's glory.

I believe the core of my existence is to glorify God. I also believe that when I live for Christ, keeping Him at the center of my life, everything around me gets better. Now, circumstances may not change, but my attitude and perspective do. And I believe that living for God has to be motivated by love, not fear or even respect, but by love.

There are many troubles in this world, but take heart, Jesus has overcome the world.

Therefore, you can have peace. You can have perfect peace. Just keep your mind on Him. Trust Him. And the troubles of the world will not overcome you.

Rahab had heard of God. She didn’t serve Him, but she heard of His might and feared Him. Now, although she didn’t serve Him, she believed in her heart He was real and lived like she believed it.

Do you believe? Do you live like you believe? Do others know you believe by what they see in you or do you have to tell them?

Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬. 

Suppose someone offered you a great exchange. Let’s say, they asked if you had $1 and when you pulled out the $1, they offered to give you $5 in exchange for the $1. There are no strings attached. You give them $1, and they give you $5. You get to go on and spend your money as you choose.

Would you take the deal? I am sure you would. I don’t see any reason for not taking it. Even if you had all the money you needed, now, you had $4 you could give away.

After the exchange, would you feel like you’ve lost something? Would you feel like you’ve been cheated? Robbed? Probably not. You would probably feel pretty good about the exchange.

The kingdom of heaven is like that exchange. There is nothing you can give up on this earth that is greater than what you gain through salvation.

Is it worth everything? Are you holding onto anything that hinders your walk with Christ?  Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬.

Jesus is the source of life. Remember, we were dead in our transgressions, and because Jesus paid the price, we can now live.

But life comes from the source, and living is found in remaining connected to the source.

Take a beautiful rose. Have you ever received a rose, perhaps in a vase, as a gift for you? It was beautiful, I am sure, but it was dead. It was dead because it had been cut or removed from the source of its life. The rose bush from which it was cut provided it with the nutrients it needed to live, to grow, and to thrive.

Jesus is our source of life, and when we disconnect ourselves from Him, we cease to live.

How are you staying connected? Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬. 

We live in this world by design. Just as Jesus came to this world so that the world might be saved, He sanctified us. I mean, as Christ’s followers, we are apart from the world. But we are to bring light into the world so that the world will come to know Christ, and they too shall live.

So, we are in the world, but not of the world. We should look different from the world. We have to have ridiculous love. That’s what Jesus had, that He was willing to lay down His life for us. 

Love is not tolerance. Love is truth, grace, and mercy. And to love God means to obey Him, not out of fear or even reference, but out of love.

How are you doing with love? How do you define love?

Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬. I want to hear your God story.

Sometimes when we are in the midst of “our thing” we can see beyond the moment. It can be hard to see God in it with us, but He will not leave you nor forsake you. So He is in it with you.

Sometimes you have to take a step back. Sometimes you have to just trust and wait to get a little farther down the line. But do your best to see Him in it with you.
