You have a story. And it is waiting to be told for God’s glory.

[Kevin Hunspergerhausen @kevinhunsperger]

Sorry, not sorry.

Your life changes as the love of God explodes in your heart, tearing down walls you built to protect yourself and building up confidence and faith in a God who is for you.

Every parent when they’re trying to watch something and their child keeps walking into the room to show them a YouTube video.

Nothing tests our trust like fear, but fear fades when we trust the strength and sovereignty of our God.

Fear doesn’t have to pull us away from trusting God. We can actually let it be the catalyst to us choosing to trust God more than ever.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Searching for God is so much more faith-building than searching for answers.

Let Him comfort you with His presence. And trust the answers to come in His right way and His right time.

Almost time to pick out which mums to put by our front door and kill this fall.

@kevinhunsperger I am too. Saw him years ago in Spfld at the height of wrestlemania. He was a favorite of mine and it was a great to see him. I’m so sad

God is everywhere all the time.

And we believe that He is with us in a powerful way as His Spirit takes up residence in our lives.

A shift happens, and we understand that life is not so much “Jesus and me” as it is “Jesus in me.”

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

We have to fight the urge to expect our version of God’s good timing, God’s good provision, and God’s good protection to match what we script for our lives.

God Himself is good. And that means His plans are good, His ways are good, and we can trust Him at all times.

// e x p e c t — a t t e m p t //

In 1791, Carey used these six words—expect great things, attempt great things—in a message to call listeners to the staggering possibility and obligation of Believers to leverage their lives to take the gospel message to everyone on earth.

The Holy Spirit isn't looking for extraordinary people, He's looking for anybody who would say to Him, 'Fill me and do through me things that I cannot do on my own.'

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Let’s allow the unfathomable depth of God’s love to settle us. Breathe hope into our dread. Trust into our doubts. And give us a soft place to land each day.

His love is a certainty… even when life feels so very uncertain.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
(Matthew 19:26)

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Here are three instructions from Acts 8 that I'm asking God to help me live out with all my heart and mind:

1. Go near. “The Spirit told Philip, ‘Go to that chariot and stay near it’” (Acts 8:29).

The man from Ethiopia was different from Philip, not in his inner circle, comfort zone, or immediate sphere of influence. And yet the Spirit instructed Philip to go close.

May we break out of the boxes of our normalcy and dare to go close to those who aren’t like us. By going close, we see things we need to see and hear things we need to hear. Our hearts become tender.

2. Gain understanding. “Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet” (Acts 8:30a, NIV).

Philip ran. This took effort, energy, and intentionality. Then, instead of wielding God's Word like a weapon and haphazardly throwing Truth at this man, Philip listened. Based on what he heard, Philip asked the eunuch if he understood what he was reading. Philip discerned a need and sought to meet that need, letting the man's agenda come before his own.

Instead of running alongside people, seeking to understand them, we sometimes tend to run over others with our agendas, perceptions, and points of view. Let's seek to be discerning, not demanding.

3. Earn the right to share. “So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him” (Acts 8:31b, NIV).

Once Philip drew close and gained understanding, he earned the right to share his faith.

May we go to people. Listen to people. Start where they are, not where we want them to be. And from their point of need, lovingly share the good news about Jesus.
