When you are tempted to look back, and turn your focus inward…
When your mind is tearing you down, and your thoughts turn from hope to defeat…
STOP…
It’s not about you…
When you are a new creation in Christ your life is not about you anymore…
It is about loving God…
And loving others…
“… which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37-39
We are to move forward…
We are to keep God’s first and greatest commandment on the forefront of our hearts and minds…
And…
We are to…
Keep your faith alive with hope…
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe He exists, and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
Hebrews 11:6
To be paralyzed over your yesterdays, to analyze, complain and worry… To keep looking at our faults, fears, and expectations…
None of these things please God…
What pleases God?
Faith pleases God :)
Faith in His awesomeness and power…
Faith in His glory and majesty…
Faith in His Hand of redemption and purpose…
Keep your eyes on the bigger picture…
Don’t get caught up in the weeds of fear…
By faith you were set free…
By faith you are a living, beautiful, redeemed child of God’s…
By faith you will change your world…
Keep loving…
Keep shinning…
Your people need to see God’s love, and He is using You… His chosen vessel; to be His hands, heart and feet…
The world is watching…
Your family, spouse, loved ones, and friends…
All watching…
Are you living love…?
Walk in freedom of Your redemption and set your world on fire…
“So then, dear friends, the point is this: The law no longer holds you in its power, because you died to its power when you died with Christ on the cross. And now you are united with one who was raised from the dead. As a result you can produce good fruit, that is, good deeds for God.”
Romans 7:4
You got this…
God has you!
Live in Love,

“I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said you are my servant; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
Pretty much the most awesome verse ever… :)
