Follower Of The One True King

“Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.”

“Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

“Sometimes the heaviness of everything–our roles, responsibilities, commitments, and obligations–can weigh us down and get in the way of living our dream. And, despite our best efforts, sometimes life just gets in the way. Working toward our dream feels like too much. I know how it feels to lose your identity in motherhood, to try and do a hundred different things but feel like you’re doing none of them well, to feel like you’re always coming from behind. I know what it’s like to naturally and unconsciously put every other person on the planet before yourself. It can lead to the heavy feeling of being rushed and resentful, busy and burned-out. But I want to encourage you. You were made for more than just getting by; fulfillment is waiting for you in work that you love. You’re not a supporting character in the movie of your life; you’re the lead role. You have permission, the responsibility even, to be in the driver’s seat of your own life. That includes investing in things that bring you joy and make you proud. You have permission to do things that make you like yourself. It’s not selfish; it's self-preservation, and it’s smart.”

“Sorry for the times when I’m overwhelmed and worry about my future that I forget that You are a faithful God and You keep Your promises.”

“And suddenly I realized that every single thing in my life is fleeting, and that only God is eternal.”

“We have great demands, but Christ has great supplies. Between here and heaven, we may have greater wants than we have yet known. But all along the journey, every resting place is ready; provisions are laid up, good cheer is stored, and nothing has been overlooked. The commissary of the eternal is absolutely perfect.”

This is where the war ends. In the Peace of His Presence.

“You will be hated by all for my name’s sake.”

God’s Will.
