“God eagerly awaits the chance to bless the person whose heart is turned toward him.” —Anonymous
God said, "Be holy because I am holy." and :Seek first my Kingdom and all you need will be added." Amen! Help us Lord!
Good Morning Holy Children of God! We are made holy and set apart by God for His plans and purposes that we are created to accomplish. Help us Lord! We are saved, forgiven and born again because of our faith and obedience and that faith and new life is a free gift from God! PTL! Now we are forgiven, gifted, enabled and activated to not stay in our rut but to be transformed into His image and grow in Christlikeness and towards His great plans for us. Good fruit is budding! PTL! What might God have for you to work on in your holiness journey? Seek Him for some correctve or focus area and team up with your accaountability partners to work on that this year. Share your word or the thing God has for you to work on with Sarah, Mike or me so we can pray and encourage you along the way.
Is your heart not only turned to God but focused on Him and what He has for you /this year? Be still. Refocus. Team up. And grow, go and produce great and lasting fruit. Build up that treasure in heaven too. God is wanting to prepare you for eternity and your purposes there. This life is your opportunity to sow ahead into His future for you in heaven. What will you do with this time? Turn off the noise and keep focused and following with willing hearts and moving feet. We were one way, then another and on our way to another, by the grace of God and because of Jesus in us. Amen! Remember, we get to/want to do these things and God is with us working all things together. What are you waiting for? It's time to join Him as you grow into your potential, shed the old and put on the new more fully and go drive back the darkness with Him! Your Kingdom come and will be done Lord, in, through and around me and us. Come! Have Your way with us. Amen!
