Can't wait to see what they do!
"Paul shook the snake off.. and suffered no ill effects." (Acts 28:5, NIV)
Follower of Jesus ... are you listening? Your Accuser's poison is fear & doubt & sin & shame. Shake it off, don't soak it in, so no ill can effect you.
"Paul shook the snake off.. and suffered no ill effects." (Acts 28:5, NIV)
All who are trying to do something great... are you listening? Critics will bite. It's what they do. Don't let their poison sink in... shake it off.

Girls... are you listening? Why suffer any more ill effects; just shake that snake off.
Common counsel advises, "pursue your passions." UNCOMMON counsel invites, "find your COMPASSION." Whom you feel compassion for says something about why you're on this planet.
Common culture identifies you: consumer, object, soldier, privileges, victim. UNCOMMON counsel advises, "remember who you REALLY are: beloved child of God, created on purpose for a purpose."
Common counsel advises: "do that you think is right." UNCOMMON counsel clarifies, "do what is righteous." Every person does what's right in their own eyes. The righteous man seeks to know & do what's right in God's eyes.
There will be no Mom-Blaming in heaven. Each person is responsible for their own life, their own relationship with God, their own relationship with spouse, kids, & fellow man.
Jesus was rejected, mocked, stripped of dignity, hideously mangled, easily defeated. But… he is my hero, my champion, my influencer, my wisdom, righteousness, & purpose. His is the table I want to be at, the page I want to follow, the glory I want to magnify. #makeJesusfamous
The true primary reason for all our relationships is to help each other know, love & serve Jesus. We have other goals: romance, survival, belonging, advancement. But if we'd make Jesus central instead, we'd get healthy marriage, family, friendship, partnership as a result.
Put Jesus center stage in your life. He's the "groom," you're the "best man." It'll remove confusion about your purpose. Everyday: "This day isn’t about me, it’s about Him. What an honor to be in His party!" #makeJesusfamous
