Whenever I hear that schools can’t force students to wear masks I remember that time I got sent to the principal’s office for a skirt that was shorter than my fingertips. I guess “indecent” or “distracting to boys” is more important than “slow the spread of a global pandemic.”
see that friend. visit your family. make the 3 or 4 hour drive. call that person. say “i love you” too many times. you’ll wish you did it all more one day
God’s never been interested in you being “enough.” moses didn’t think he was good enough. people didn’t think david was strong enough. maybe tonight you’re in a “not enough” mindset. just know that God loves to show up in the not enough to teach us that he is more than enough.
Where Jesus is there is peace.
Where Jesus is there is hope.
Where Jesus is there is love.
Where Jesus is there is joy.
Where Jesus is there is life.
Where Jesus is I want to be.
If God has anointed you to do something you must live into that work regardless of whether or not other folks believe in your capacity to see that work through. God believed in you enough to gift you with a specific calling.
just because people don't like you doesn't mean you need to change. i should never be adapting to please others because people should never be the standard, it should always be God.
Many think that God is perpetually disappointed with them. But because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, God sees us as friends and children, not as enemies and strangers. Because of Jesus, God’s affection for us is unchanging and His approval of us is forever.
Take a look at your circle & ask, who are my friends? What do they see? How do they love? What do I see for the future?
Relationships direct things.
To serve a God who can literally bring you out of the ashes and darkest moments when the worlds given up on us & STILL LOVE US. HIS GRACE ASTOUNDS ME.
