Never be ashamed of who you are in Christ. Rather spread this Good News!
Please get addicted to believing God will work everything out for you. Trust that your prayers can change everything. Be boldly, wildly optimistic about what God can do in your life. The people around you should think you’ve lost your mind. Go after things that feel impossible. Trust Him before you see the outcome. Walk by faith, not by sight.
The snake in Genesis didn't come hissing. It came asking questions. Looking concerned. Sounding reasonable. Discernment is learning to hear the agenda underneath the question.
We were in the car after a long day, both of us exhausted. He was on the phone with a friend through the speakers, and they were talking about life, work, stress… all of it.
At one point his friend joked, “Man, marriage must be tiring.”
Without even thinking, he said, “Nah. Marriage isn’t tiring. Life is tiring. My wife is the part that makes it worth it.”
I froze in the passenger seat.
He kept driving like he didn’t just shift my entire world with one sentence.
Later that night I asked him if he really meant it.
He looked at me confused and said,
“Of course. You’re not my responsibility. You’re my reward.”
And I swear, in a world where people talk about marriage like it’s a burden…
He talks about it like he won the lottery.
And that’s all the reassurance I’ll ever need.
I recently learned something that shifted how I understand prayer. When the Bible says “the God of Abraham/David/Jacob,” it’s not repetition,it’s revelation. God’s name is attached to people’s stories so we understand how He shows up. The God of Jacob is the God who stays with the struggler. The God of David is the God who restores after failure. The God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is the God who delivers in the fire. Growing up, I heard my mom pray like this all the time.
I didn’t realize she was calling on specific dimensions of God’s faithfulness. Now I understand, when we say “the God of…” we’re saying, “Do here what You did there.”
When you start to read the bible more, your mind and heart starts to transform for the better. You become a better human, friend, family member and christian. The end goal really should always be to become more like Jesus.
@bluewmist I’ve learned this too; when you commit to your path, the right people show up.
It’s not about waiting for the crowd; it’s about staying true to your journey.
my father always told me: "if you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company. sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, likeminded people will find you themselves." and only recently have I realized that this principle works everywhere.
This year, don’t try to USE God. Don’t just remember Him when you want something. Make up your mind to be committed to Him in spirit and in truth. Fellowship with him. Serve Him. Study his word and love by it. This is where real joy is. This is where life is ❤️.
