God is all knowing and purposeful. I am given my roles for a reason. Where we live is no mistake. Who I run into is no mistake. Everything is given life and with that life comes purpose...serving to bring forward His perfect plan.
Everyone needs compassion. I am equally in need of a Savior as the next person.
My good deeds don't gain salvation.
There are no brownie points for authenticity or an admission of weakness. God praises humility that is transformed to repentance which brings change.
My identity is not found in my roles as a wife, mom, photographer or anything else. My sole purpose in being created is to serve Him and fulfill His plan for my life which can happen through my roles.
Pointing fingers at a church body or church group serves to benefit only one person, and that is not God. Instead, we should work together to build up the church and not destroy it from the inside.
Our Christian walk is not about the journey or the experience, but rather the purpose and the prize.
Our culture has a serious problem with self-promotion and narcissism. The enemy can, has and is using this to take our eyes off Him and point it back to ourselves.
People choose to be ignorant because they don't want to sacrifice or change.
Such a great reminder, seriously so often we lose sight of how simple the things we are called to do are. I have been overwhelmed with how the things I have heard preached my whole life have finally become real to me. That is awesome! :)
