I realized again because serve Jesus my time and effort can't be stolen. Every hour is already his.

In healthy relationships, as we press to give one another the best, we are met with equal resistance to be given the best, and the love of God is shown as we live together in love.

Writing down what God has done for you and telling others helps strengthen our memory of his goodness. Our joy as believers doesn’t rely on being given everything we want but on the reliability of God’s nearness. In times of hardship, recounting the ways God has been good to you in the past, can help you meet even the hardest of trials with joy.

2024/02/29

When I started focusing on what Jesus had done for me it changed the way I thought about my life. The words I replaced them with were “He is transforming me daily to nurture as he nurtures." “Your home is not a shrine to your good taste, but a place of welcome." “God's Spirit will guide my words.” The freedom from changing my scripts caused me to be more thoughtful and wise as I moved forward.

MINI: How Do I Read the Bible When Life is Chaos?...

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2024/02/22

The goal of our reading isn’t to “get through,” but to remember and apply. If reading God’s word isn’t bringing delight, blessing, and transformation, then maybe we have found our value in making it a competition to do the most, or on the other side maybe it’s become something unnecessary to our existence. His word doesn’t return void, so read what you have brain retention for, and be formed by him. SHOW NOTES: -Go to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Get Started" page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for all the information on how to use
