If ever you find yourself doubting your self-worth and your identity
Remember that, God created us in His image and that implies every single one of us is valuable and have dignity.
God sees you and me as valuable.
So valuable He gave up His own Son for us.
Lately, I’m starting to realize perseverance might not be a matter of motivation nor our feelings.
I’m realizing its a matter of Faith.
Faith that God’s working out the details while I do my part.
Faith that He’ll show up even when things are difficult.
We’re never doing ministry alone! Remember that He will be with us as we continue to disciple!
So stop carrying the weight of it alone! Give room for God to help you carry the burdens of discipleship.
This is for the small group leaders.
At some point you have to realize you have to stop blaming yourself if they strayed away. If you honestly did your part, trust that God will work in their hearts.
Just keep loving them as Jesus loved you when you were straying away.
Our role is to shepherd them and love them as best as we can to spir them to Christlikeness.
God’s role is to change them and transform them along the way through the Holy Spirit.
Worry keeps us from worship because it magnifies the problems and circumstances and makes it bigger than it ought to be.
Worrying, minimizes God’s magnificent nature and keeps us from fully experiencing God’s power.
Our worries do not limit our limitless God.
Worrier vs Warrior
Worriers are overwhelmed and so concerned and caught up because of a lack of control in their circumstances.
Warriors know they can’t control things so they constantly fight to remind themselves of God’s faithfulness
Which one are you?

If you’re reading this and you’re a tired college student pls do take note.
The world won’t stop spinning if you go to sleep. The most spiritual thing you can do tonight is sleep and trust that God will be with you as you continue your responsibilities tomorrow morning.

If 2019 is going to be our year of Breakthrough maybe that entails God doing the ff:
Breaking through our pride
Breaking through our comfort zone
Breaking through our need for control
Breaking through our bondage to sin
Breaking through our hard hearts
If there’s still a place in our campuses where Christ has not been preached, then we need keep reaching out and keep the vision of seeing Christ-committed students alive until there’s no more place left in the campus for Christ to be preached.
When we focus on Gospel-Centered Discipleship with our Hope anchored on Heaven, laboring for the Lord will be worth it no matter how difficult things get.
