Jesus sure is making sure we’re in it for Him. Chaos can be clarifying. Don’t walk away from the faith because of jerks. Jesus isn’t a jerk. This is such a good time to go back & read 1 of the 4 Gospels. Watch Him on those sacred pages. Remember once again why you’re a Christian.
Lilli had a Cell City project for Science. She chose youth camp for her city. Each aspect of camp represents a part of the cell. I thought it noteworthy that camp was her first thought for@this project. And that @scottie_hager would be the nucleus. 😊 @hager_melissa
Khrushchev 60 years ago...."Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but, we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism.”
We can either sit in the dark and replay the awful things we think about ourselves or the things we think others are thinking, or we can turn the light on and read God’s Word, His truth. Lies flee in the presence of God’s Truth.
Remember... God will lead you with love & conviction but never accusation or condemnation.
The enemy wants you to stare & compare in all the ways you already feel inadequate. But God isn’t measuring you by what you are or aren’t accomplishing. He loves you & wants your heart.❤️

"I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and to help others to do the same."-C.S. Lewis

Forgiveness doesn’t justify, rectify, or reconcile all the hard stuff, sweet friend. But it sure does make the load we carry a lot lighter, our outlook a lot clearer, and our hearts a lot more pure.
Let’s release every offense into the hands of God.
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him." Psalm 28:7
You're beautiful, friend. Truly. But don’t cheapen this reality by only looking for it skin deep.
Beauty emerges from one’s soul. Leave traces of it wherever you go. Give it away through your words, your smile, your creativity, your generous spirit.
