Be who you were created to be and use it for God’s purpose. Only then will you gain more than you ever imagined from the One who delights in His original works, not wanna be copies.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

Don’t be so distracted by someone else’s blessings that you lose who you are to mimic them, in an attempt to get what they have. Trying to copy someone else’s gifts and purpose is foolish and wasteful of your own

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

God created a uniqueness in each of us that was designed with a purpose in mind. When we embrace his refinement and hold fast to who he created us to be as individuals, we are better able to locate and live out our purpose.

Attempting to control the actions and/or consequences of others only results in blindness towards our own personal transgressions.

God’s discipline in our lives is proof that he loves us and wants us to live our best. He paid the ultimate price for us with His life. We were too expensive for him to allow us to act cheap!

The tunnel we’ve been called to walk through is life on earth. We have assurance that there is a light at the end of the tunnel with Jesus in heaven, but the enemy sets traps, disguising pitfalls as treasure to lure us away from the narrow path.

Reconnect your soul to the Giver, who supplies life and more life. Quench your thirsty heart with the nearness it desires from the source. Being close to Him is the only way we can access the full purpose God created in the inner workings of each of us.

Many of us are living lives that are not functioning to their full capacity. The world convinces us we're doing good while we slowly become accustomed to living a life half full. Fullness can only be found in Christ and a life modeled after Him.

Focusing our attention and efforts towards the actions and/or consequences of others only results in blindness towards our own personal transgressions.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

When we focus our attention on the actions of others instead of asking God to search and expose our own hearts, we waste the time and energy needed for our own personal growth.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

We were designed with the desire to seek and know our ultimate purpose. In today's world it's easy to seek answers through worldly accolades. When in reality the only place we can find true purpose is in the presence of our creator looking to Him and His design.

Satan lies in wait for us to be captivated by shiny shortcuts and choose the easy road where at the end awaits certain destruction.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

Sometimes we become so accustomed to living a life half full that we can’t even comprehend what we’re truly missing. Life without a source, without Christ, leaves us circling aimlessly in a loading phase, never finding the fullness of joy.

What do you give up when you feel “starved”? When you feel starved of love, do you give yourself away physically? When you feel starved of acceptance, do you compromise your faith to fit in? Don’t trade in the blessings intended for you for short-lived satisfaction.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

The Maker dotes on us. He created the universe with us in mind. He made us to love us and we don’t have to do anything but receive that love.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

Have you been ignoring the Holy Spirit inside of you & letting sin act as your decision maker & guide? The longer you sleep on God & His voice, the more sin will come into your life & make a mess of things. You've been set free from sin's reign! Choose life in the Spirit today.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

Don’t let the devil fool you into thinking you’re supposed to put yourself first over everything and everyone. Love on someone in your community today, there’s lots of ways to do it and I promise it's worth it.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

So many of us need to shift focus. We hone in on the negative and complain, missing the reality of our many blessings.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

If you’re trying to figure out the purpose of your life here on earth, consult your manufacturer. He will show you what he purposed you for.

[Kariss(Evans)Farris @karissfarris]

I didn’t knit myself together in my mother’s womb, nor did I know myself before I was created. So why do I try and find my purpose outside of my Maker and in his sovereign will?
