I think enjoying Jesus is one of the most impactful messages anyone can preach. To be one who is in Love, satisfied, and contented in Christ.

When you long, above all else, for God to leave His mark on you, you will inevitably leave your mark on the world.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

If Jesus Christ didn’t abandon you in his darkness, the ultimate darkness, why would he abandon you now, in yours?

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

There is no formula or ‘one way fits every moment’ for the Holy Spirit, worship leading or ministry. Seek first the Kingdom is the closest thing we’ve got. And it’s enough. It is so surely more than enough.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

If ANYONE in the universe had the right to be cynical and bitter, it is God Himself. And He is not.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

In our streamlining we have settled. Dependent on things we believe to be sure to work every time rather than the Lord who may do things differently every time.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Jesus has a radically different definition of success than we do. And everything changes when we come into agreement with His.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

I think there is a sweet spot, where Jesus is, that perfectly holds mystery AND simplicity. We must not complicate what Jesus has made simple, but we also must not water down His great mystery. The Holy Spirit will show us how! #thisistheWayy

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Becoming more deeply acquainted with our weakness is actually what produces true strength. The paradoxes of life in Jesus! Beautiful!

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Listening isn’t always even a means of coming to an agreement. However, It is one of the most effective tools we have at loving well in spite of disagreement.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

If we truly listened to those we disagree with to the same depth that we ourselves wish to be listened to, we would live in quite a different world wouldn’t we? I dread the day we seem to be daily approaching more quickly, where listening is a forgotten art.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

It’s when the jar of clay begins to take credit for the treasure that fills it, that things get wonky. We will only ever be vessels. Joyful recipients, but never the source. And if we’ve only ever been given, how could we boast of anything as if it’s ours?

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Your shoulders were never meant to carry the heavy. Only Christ’s shoulders are strong enough for that. Be renewed through surrender.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

One of the main tactics of fear is making everything about you - your weakness, your limitation. To combat it - magnify GOD.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Jesus did not say, “Do whatever it takes to please my sheep”. He said, “FEED my sheep”... and nutritious food doesn’t always taste good.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

The peace of Christ in you speaks the highest volume when it doesn’t make sense for you to have it.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Give up every illusion of your own strength. Depend only on what what is dependable-the power of God.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

I think the maturity of a worshipper is quickly revealed when they are led into worship in an entirely different way than they are used to.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

Are you going to abide in yourself or abide in the Lord? It’s a daily choice. One is death, and one is life.

[Melanie Tierce @MelanieTierce]

The encouragement of the Holy Spirit never puffs you up, but instead He builds you up. We must be careful to do the same for one another.
