If we really knew the heart of our Father, if we really knew His vast, immense, intentional love for us, there would be no question who would be on the first place platform. His jealousy doesn’t come from insecurity, it comes from deep love, care, and protection of us. He wants our affection because He has our best in mind. True love is always rightfully jealous.

I invite you to join me as we work on being “In the Spirit and in the Moment,” embracing right where we are and being content with whatever we are doing.

When you come to know, in the marrow of your bones, that you are loved and valued by God… on the worst day of your life… you find yourself gripped by a hope that's stronger than the pain. The good news is that God has made us in a way that taking one single step of action can be extremely powerful in robbing disaster of its paralyzing power.

May we grow up, continuing to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in us to will and act according to His good purpose.

Are you proud of the life you’re choosing to live?If you’re reading this and feeling like you’ve made a mess of your life, it’s never too late to start again. Your identity is not in the mistakes you’ve made. If you have a relationship with Jesus, it’s in being His son or daughter. In our weakness He is strong!

The point is: Life is short! Life is hard… but your marriage should be a source of mutual joy that strengthens you for life's challenges. The word for "meaningless" is "Hebel" -- it means "fleeting". You wake up on a December morning, step outside, you take a breath, you exhale, you see your breath… then it's gone… fleeting.

God doesn’t need to highlight the strong characters we expect. Instead, He picks the underdogs, so there won’t be any confusion - He is the source of power and strength. He is the recipient of glory. He is the true main character.

I want to encourage you, in all that you do, to “trust the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him, turn everything over to Him, for His promises are true. He will direct your paths.”

The lesson is this: When you are in relationship with God the Father… through your belief in the price Jesus paid on that cross to forgive all your sin, and by your faith that Jesus rose from the dead as your Lord… Well, God is proud of you!

Yet, Holiness is not an option, but a command. I am to be Holy as God is Holy. By dictionary definition, it means that I am to be consecrated and set apart for God. I am to be sacred. We are to Be Holy, as He is Holy.
