I do not believe God is looking for the perfect or the equipped, I believe He is looking for the willing.
He is looking for those willing to say yes and make that choice to live the mission God has for them!

I believe one of the greatest lies Satan ever told was convincing the world that he doesn't exist. The second? Convincing us that our lives don't have worth, but they do.
Your life counts & so does mine. God has given you a unique purpose & mission, and He makes it possible!
Father, please fill my gaze with your beauty, my heart with your kindness, and my words with your grace. Slow my aggravation-reactions way down today, and speed my repentances way up.
Scripture memory gives us steadier nerves. Specific Bible verses stored away in our minds serve as the shock absorbers of life, giving us steadier nerves and calmer spirits.
(Excerpt- "100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know By Heart")
I’m not much of a New Year’s resolution person but I do thoroughly believe in planning and preparing to live in pursuit of God & Christlikeness, in pursuit of love, faith & joy in a coming year. Our natural default is to sow to the flesh. We won’t sow to the Spirit by accident.
"My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." - Matthew 26:42
Whatever you are facing today, remember this humble prayer and submission of Jesus himself.

Stretching
Reflective
Convicting
Caused us to pause, even stop & gain new perspective; realign our priorities w/ Gods. It stretched us in ways beyond belief & caused us to reflect on past and be more present.
God knows that without risk we can't grow. He didn't promise us a safe life, but said He would give us a dangerous, engaged and courageous one if we'll take Him at his word.
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. —2 Corinthians 1:20
Jesus is THE promise in the flesh.
Don’t be lazy and make assumptions about people. Ask about their stories. Then listen. Genuinely listen.
Be humble. Be teachable.
Be human. Be a good neighbor.
Remember, you can’t love your neighbors if you don’t know your neighbors.
