John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.

The more we expose ourselves to Christ, the more we will desire Him.

The more we expose ourselves to Christ, the less we will desire ourselves and our flesh.

More of Jesus, More like Jesus.

God opens (and keeps) the right doors open for you at the right time.

It’s easy to look around and wonder why doors are opening for others but aren’t for you.

It’s easy to question God’s timing when we think He’s silent.

But God’s silence doesn’t mean abandonment. Even in God’s silence, He is working and He is preparing you for what He would like for you to steward.

Friend, if you’ve been rejected, it doesn’t mean that God doesn’t love you. Often times, the doors we think should open for us, don’t.

Because God is sovereign and all-knowing, we must trust that those doors weren’t meant for us. God doesn’t want us to walk by sight, but rather by faith. After all, we cannot please God without faith.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.)

Friend, your struggle is but a stepping stone into who you’re meant to be.

Embrace the struggle and let it build you.

Life is hard. Life is unfair. But that’s life.

If you’re feeling anxious or worried,
Cast your cares to the Lord because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

That bill that hasn’t been paid — give it to Jesus.

That prayer that hasn’t been answered — give it to Jesus.

That diagnosis you recently received — give it to Jesus.

That marriage that’s on the rocks — give it to Jesus.

That child who may have strayed away — give him/her to Jesus.

A lot of our problems don’t necessarily need to be solved the way we want, but rather we need view them differently.

Anxiety and worry says, “What if”.
God says, “Even if.”

Motherhood consists of a range of feelings and seasons. We love our children one day and the next, we don’t know if we like them (I say this jokingly, kind of).

But the more time I spend with Jesus, the more I am convinced that our love for our children will cause us to do the impossible — protect, defend, etc. at all costs but there is an adversary, the devil — as a roaring lion that is out to get your child —

The more we need to be on our knees fighting for them rather than using our mouths to fight with them.

The more we need to make our homes a haven where they can feel safe, wanted, loved, and heard.

The more we need the filling and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our own lives before we can pour into them.

Momma, in a society that focuses on making sure their child gets into HARVARD & living for HAPPINESS (which isn’t bad, necessarily), may we focus on making sure we bring our children into HEAVEN more.

Forgiving others can be tough, particularly when pain lingers.

However, Jesus’ death on the cross showcases the greatest forgiveness we’ve ever known.

As He was dying, He cried out to His Father to forgive those who were crucifying Him, because they didn’t “know what they were doing.”

Luke 23:34 KJV
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

As believers, it might be easier to forgive someone who has offended you and isn’t a believer.

For some, it’s the total opposite.

Either way, Jesus sets the ultimate example for us when He said those words.

In simple terms, we are to forgive others because that’s what Jesus did — with us and with all of humanity.

When we acknowledge and accept that forgiveness, our lives are forever changed.

Friend, if you haven’t accepted that forgiveness that Jesus offers to everybody, you can do that today.

Simply call upon the name of Jesus,

ADMIT: Acknowledge that you are a sinner, meaning you have fallen short of God’s glory and need His forgiveness.
(Romans 3:23; 6:23)

BELIEVE: Place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died on the cross for your sins and rose from the dead. (Romans 10:9-10)

CONFESS: Declare your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and commit your life to following Him. (Romans 10:13)

Dear Parents,

Are we fighting hard enough for our children?

We have been in a spiritual battle since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.

More and more, we need to be fighting for our children in prayer and discipleship.

They are bombarded with so much noise, some of which we may not even know about (may we strive to be proactive parents), noise that, if they are not guided properly, will infiltrate their minds and hearts with deceit.

The devil is a liar and he will use any means possible to make the lies attractive and the truth seem like lies.

It’s past overdue that we parents rise up and fight for our children.

NOT TODAY, SATAN!
NOT OUR CHILDREN!
NOT EVER!

We live in a culture that has become content and comfortable with following their hearts and following their dreams, while disregarding the Holy Spirit of God.

There is so much noise in our world right now. We cannot discern which voice we should listen to if we don’t even know what it sounds like.

We cannot listen to that STILL, SMALL VOICE if we are consumed with all the unnecessary noise.

Lean into Christ.
Learn of Him.
Let go of the noise and
Listen to His Voice.

When you die, will you die empty?

How are we doing with our resources?

Your time. Your money. your relationships. Your gifts and talents.

These are all resources that we are to steward. Stewardship does not mean ownership. Stewardship is wise management of what you’ve been given.

Many will come to the end of their lives realizing that they did not steward wisely their children, their money, their gifts and talents, nor their time. Instead, they wasted them.

They didn’t invest in their children.
They didn’t invest their finances for the kingdom.
They didn’t invest their time for what mattered.
They didn’t invest in their gifts and talents.

They wasted them or they hid them, making them busybodies for Jesus rather than fruitful servants for Jesus.

When you die, will you die empty?
Or will you die and be buried with wasted potential, wasted gifts and talents, wasted relationships, or wasted time?

Now is not the time to hide and cower, now is the time get busy about the Father’s business.
