No one can walk with the Lord for us. Christian leader, there’s no short cut to the long run. Don’t depend on other people to do the praying, Scripture-reading, wisdom-seeking, soul-tending, sin-repenting and God-savoring for you. Performance will tell on you. Presence will keep you.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Whatever the Lord’s will for each of us in 2024 who follow Jesus, it will exceed our natural strengths, skills, talents, levels of experience, areas of expertise, intellectual acumen and worldly wisdom. The beautiful way Jesus set this faith thing up is that we can’t serve Jesus without Jesus. I pray this for all of us in 2024: more of Jesus.

Do you have a picture of what your life will look like? Look into the canvas of your imagination; that's where God begins to paint a picture. A Word from Luke 1:26-30. #Hope #ExperienceGrace #Advent

[Grace United Methodist Metroplex @GraceUMC3]

God paints a picture to allow you to see beyond what you see. In order to create hope you have to have a meeting with yourself. Who do you allow to come to your deliberating table? God? The Word of God? Your spirit? To build your faith let your hope talk.

[Grace United Methodist Metroplex @GraceUMC3]

Biblical hope is a strong belief something good is about to happen. Hope is essential for faith; it sustains our faith. When we put our hope in place we can not be moved. #ExperienceGrace #Hope #FaithHopeAndLove

Sometimes we hear about, study, and watch people believe; you have to put your belief in action. Write the vision, make it plain and meditate on what's possible. Believe and not doubt.

[Grace United Methodist Metroplex @GraceUMC3]

There is a principle to believing. Hope is like a master design, the expectation. If you don't hope you can't have faith.
