We live in a time of social media where all people do is crave attention, praise, and approval because people are competitive. It is completely against the will of God. Always know when we are the object of our own attention. Be honest with “why” we do what we do. If we are the focus, the will of God never is! Jesus never came for one of us but all of us! Our humility is the only way our minds are transformed into the way Jesus loves and builds mankind. That’s the “you over me” mindset!

Love keeps our souls free because love never keeps the score. Stop remembering dates, times, and events that hurt us! Love is never weighed down with yesterday. We all have a past. We all make mistakes. No one knows betrayal like God, but Jesus came to us anyway! Love is the power to be healed from the feelings of betrayal and disappointment that we create for each other. For the woman in Samaria Jesus didn’t stop until He offered Himself to change her life for good. There may be some tough conversations to have. If we want to have them; Christ will bring the right issue to bring things together. We need to go through Samaria. Keep the light on. Keep the door open. Make disciples. Keep Jesus the center of how we approach each other and make lasting impact that always gives God glory. 

Power is not a package it is a flow of fulfillment in Christ that reveals we are doing that assignment Jesus died for and living the grace He rose for. Only Jesus’s hands turn affliction into fulfillment. Abide in it to stay protected, remain effective, live fulfilled, and become increasingly productive because of who we become in the wilderness. The wilderness is the place where God does His deepest work! Let Him and walk out “perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” That is the power in the wilderness.

We cannot live a perfect life, so how about living a perfected life!  The resources around us are purposefully insufficient that we may reach up to Christ Who is not just a resource BUT the Source! When we open ourselves to God’s principles, His light leads from the inside forward! That is His risen glory in us! 

Some things make us accomplished, but only Christ makes us complete. No money, person, degree, appearance, career, or accolade has the capacity, permission, or power to make us whole! Only Jesus makes us whole.

God spoke the end from the beginning; linger there! Send praise forward. God has put eternity in our hearts to always live in great expectation. Don’t wait till we see it; believe now to praise now!  Always know that a pause does not change the plan. Stay with Jesus!

This is the hour to do the one thing that changes everything. Have one purpose in life that makes all we think, speak, and do walk in agreement with God. Make that one purpose to please God now and always. Make everything bow to our determination to please God. That is how we set our love upon Jesus. 

It is time for our best lives. We all live somewhere in the natural and the supernatural. Abiding is confining ourselves to living God's principles and remaining in Jesus without fading. The excuses are over. There is a grace rising up through reproducing His presence where we are planted to bring God glory now and next. 

Belief is not simply acknowledging Jesus exists but that He came to live in us. Belief is the power to entrust ourselves to His love, His wisdom, and His plans. It is not simply believing Him but believing IN HIM. Take Jesus personally and be as He is in this world. 

Jesus has not asked much of us except to: “Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before the Lord our God (Micah 6: 8).” That presence is the seal of a servant of the Lord.
