obey God

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

If you try to do more than your best, you push past your limits, deplete yourself, and create unnecessary stress and resentment. That extra effort beyond what is actually your best becomes a waste of energy and time.

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

Your “best” is not a fixed standard. It changes from moment to moment depending on how you feel, your energy, your health, the circumstances, etc.

Adoption is a specific saving benefit that belongs only to those who are united to Christ. Through faith in Him, believers are given the legal status and relational privilege of becoming sons and daughters of God (John 1:12, Galatians 4:4–7, Romans 8:15–17, Ephesians 1:5).

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

Everyone is God’s creature. Only believers are God’s adopted children. That is classic Reformed teaching.

Nothing other people do is because of you. Taking things personally makes you easy prey

Go rays I’m so proud of you!

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

Recognizing that and refusing to play along isn’t selfishness; it’s wisdom and honesty about your limits. You can still be present, kind, and helpful without pretending you’re more than a fellow human who’s also dependent on God.

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

Wanting to drop the performance, stop managing how perfect or wise or right you appear, and live primarily for God instead of for other people’s approval is a healthy and freeing shift.

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

Contemplating God is exceedingly improving to the mind.
Its vastness swallows our thoughts; its depth drowns our pride.
Other subjects let us feel wise and content.
But nothing humbles the soul more than thoughts of God.
And I need that humility badly

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

We shall have to take note of what pleases God, what offends Him, what awakens His wrath, what affords Him satisfaction & joy.

(Like a spouse I presume)

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

The comprehensiveness of our contentment is a measure, whereby we may judge whether we really know God

#knowingGod

Jesus taught us to pray, “Your will be done.”
Our desire is for His will. Even when we don’t understand it.

I may have desires of my own, but like the three in the furnace said: even if He does not deliver us, we will not serve other gods. Dan 3:16-18

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

the Christian life is oriented toward the eternal, lived for God’s glory, surrendered to His will, emptied of self, grounded in undeserved grace, and already overflowing with the greatest gift 🎁 salvation itself. Everything else is secondary.

“everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

Sometimes we have to stop and check whether we’re being a bit delusional about how valuable our input really is. In the end, it comes down to humility.

[chloe ✞♡ 🇺🇸 🇨🇺 @ekborges]

I think we need to be careful assuming that whatever we share is automatically a blessing to others. People might not want our opinions, might not rate our skill as highly as we do, and might not even take our compliments as authentic or necessary
