When we have the light of Christ within us, we become a light for others to find their way. Are you shining for Him? Will others see Jesus because of the light that you shine?

When we recognize who we are, that we have been created by God and we surrender our way for His, something beautiful happens.

Jesus. The sweetest name I know.

Our bodies are temples to God’s Spirit and we are called to glorify God with our bodies.

David reminds us, “look up!”

We can trust our loving God with our honest lament.

Tell your story. Tell how Jesus changed you. Tell of His love.

There is nothing more important than your answer to the question, “who is Jesus?”. It determines your life here and for eternity.

If you’ve witnessed Jesus’ miracles in your own life, YOU have a story to tell. Somebody needs to know about Him! Will you share it?

What did it take for you to believe and become His witness?

While other religions may have moral or ethical systems, only Christianity has a God who was willing to become human, teach us to live, die for us and then overcome death. All other religious leaders are still in the grave. But not Jesus.

Church can’t save. Serving in church can’t save. Tithing can’t save. Only believing Jesus as your Savior can save.

God doesn’t just want outward obedience; He wants our hearts.

Does our faith result in obedience?

Whatever you’re going through or waiting for, I promise you, God is at work! He doesn’t waste time. The Lord almighty is in control and time is in His hands. Trust Him.

We have something the Lord wants to use, but will we surrender our grasp on it? Will we offer it to the Lord and accept His offer to be used to accomplish His great plan?

Are we still begging to be close to Him, found on our knees in prayer? Or are we now at a distance, watching to see what unfolds next?

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. With Him we have nothing to fear. Without Him, we have no hope.

With Jesus, there’s a better day coming. Are you ready?

Jesus changes everything and everyone.

There is one way, Jesus Christ.

A lot of life is made up of waiting. Let’s learn to wait well.

What sign do you need to recognize Jesus as the one true God? What will it take for our eyes to be opened to the truth of who He is and surrender to His authority?

Respond with forgiveness.

I am a nobody. Nothing special. Just an ordinary person. Guilty of crimes. And Jesus gave His life for me.

Lord, forgive us. Your grace is enough.

It may be that God wants you to be satisfied with Him, the giver of great blessings, before getting the blessing. It may be that He is getting you ready to experience Him in a whole new way. A fiery sort of way.

Like Jesus did often, take time to get away and pray. Seek the Lord’s wisdom and ask for discernment in this situation. Study His Word and live it out. You know who wins in the end.

May Jesus find us being faithful about His Father’s work when He returns.

Jesus is the answer for troubled hearts, broken lives, and chaotic times.

What “cup” has the Lord given you?

Do you know Him? He offers you eternal life, victory over death and sin, and all you have to do is accept.

Like the pressure of the earth creating diamonds out of carbon deposits, God is creating something beautiful out of you. It doesn’t make the trial or the storm any easier. But knowing God is at work is comforting in the midst.

Today, let’s allow the Lord to shine His truth into our lives, searching our intent and refocus on what’s really important.

The enemy may have power in this world, but remember, God has overcome this world. All because of what Jesus did for us on the cross.

Like my avocado aversion, we can live our whole lives seeing God from a distance, never truly experiencing Him. We can miss out on incredible moments of God because we’re too afraid of letting go of our life preservers and getting out of our safety boats.

Have you met Jesus? How did that change you? Have you professed that to the world? We all have a story to share, will you tell yours?

Doubt is the killer of our dreams. And doubt is the killer of our faith.

Jesus is our guide on the uncertain path of life.

Let’s seek to glorify God in and through our marriage this year.

Turn to Him in your despair, anger, hurt, and frustration. Allow Him to work all things out for you.

When we look at our daily routine, do we have a time set aside for getting alone with God?

It’s a different world. We use the past for examples and guidance and move towards the future looking for new opportunities to make His name known. The message remains the same – Jesus saves.

When we find ourselves in that position, in the middle of never-where, we have a choice. We can follow the example of Judas or we can follow the example of Peter.

Fearing God isn’t being afraid of Him – it’s being scared of living life without Him.

To be a leader one must have a servant’s heart.

He follows us when we wander, He pursues us when we rebel—He just doesn’t give up on us.

We can run with endurance because God supplies what we need along the way.

We are not yet what we will be, but we are “growing toward it.”

Today, let’s remember what God has called us to do and do it. Don’t get focused on the wrong things, the things that won’t really matter in eternity.
