Sadness

A prayer:

Lord you know what sadness feels like, even Jesus wept. Please comfort those that are sad today. Help them to not try and make sense of what has happened, but lean on You for strength.

Keep our hearts before You and heal our brokenness. Wipe every tear and calm every heart. Give us now the Peace that passes all understanding, and help us to move forward showing Your Love to one another.

Let us not be consumed with the little things, but consume us with Love for one another. You are our Peace, O God, and You are our strength. Glory to Your name.

Amen

Make You Shine

As people we are always looking for ways to shine. Whether it be for a job interview, a social media status, another person, or for ourselves, we are always looking to “shine”. Our lives may be dark, and we might be feeling low but somehow we manage to shine. Our jobs aren’t to shine for ourselves. Our jobs are to make God shine!

If we are the light in a dark world what do we think our light is supposed to do? Our light is supposed to shine so we can draw others to God. We are specifically created for His service of being light.

So today, ask yourself, “Do I Shine?” More importantly ask Him, “Do I Shine For You?”

Think about that and SHINE!

Challenge

by Danielle Atkinson, posted in Growth, Uncategorized

Ever notice when you get real comfortable things change.  Sometimes it is a radical change and sometimes it is a very small, hardly recognized change but a change nonetheless.  These shifts that occur when we are most comfortable in life can sometimes be God nudging us to move forward, or higher.  They are mostly uncomfortable shifts, you know the ones that make you question Him the most.  Uncertainty lurks keeping you just a little afraid to jump at the chance, but it doesn’t go away.  That feeling of a challenge keeps you going.  If that feeling comes with an overwhelming peace inside then maybe He is calling you to step outside of your boat.  Maybe He is calling you to fulfill your God given talent and to expose the very thing you want to hide.  Maybe that thing is what He uses to free thousands, but you will never know unless you are willing to be uncomfortable. 

Today I challenge you to do that thing that He is calling you to do, and get a little uncomfortable.  Who knows, it may be the greatest move you will make!
