Patience is a challenging skill to develop in relationships, especially when you feel lonely, empty, and incomplete. Don't rush; wait for the right moment. God knows exactly what you need, so seek His guidance first.

Are you letting past or present circumstances hold you back and prevent you from moving forward?

If Jesus were to ask you, "Do you wish to be made whole?" what would your answer be?

Read John 5:6

Think about it.

UCB Word for Today

Father, I can't believe you chose me. With all my faults and all the times I go my own way, I'm amazed You call me Your beloved child. Knowing I bring pleasure to You just by being me is one of the great joys of my life.

Amen!

Be Still & Know | Ephesians 1:5 NLT

The power of the tongue is not only harsh and angry words, but also false and foolish doctrines.

The tongue is the main expression of our personality and usually calls forth an immediate reaction, of one kind or another, in others.

This tiny member has been known to cause many wars, loss of life, and end many marriages.

Our words steer our lives and direct our destiny. Let's work at keeping it in check.

"For forty days He was tempted by the devil." Luke 4:2 NIV

Don't give in to fear and despair. Don't quit, and don't run. God has ordained victory for you. You may have taken a few hits and carry a few scars, but God will bring you through and make you stronger and wiser if you trust Him and stand on His Word.

Just as a shepherd cares for his sheep, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, cares for His flock (those who follow Him).

"I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture." John 10:7-9

Come to Jesus, He will save you.

Fascination: allure, attract, captivate, charm, and enchant. The natural result of love is fascination: being so irresistibly drawn to something that nothing can keep you from it.Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And earth has nothing I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:25—26

If you are looking for support, remember God is your all in all!

The believer is simply an "earthen vessel'; it is the treasure within the vessel that gives the vessel its value.

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

We can take heart that God is glorified through weak vessels!
