Is there something in your life that you want to see birthed? Maybe it’s a baby, or maybe it’s a dream in your heart, or maybe it’s a calling that you know you need to step into, or maybe it is a legacy that you want to leave. Often we don’t see our dreams come to pass, we shrink back in fear that it will never be birthed. However, we have to CHOOSE to embrace the pain of the process, and keep believing that as we endure, there is joy ahead!

How is your heart? Are you joyful? Fearful? Anguishing? Are you content? Are you frustrated? Are you stressed?

I think no matter where we are today, we can all relate to feeling emotionally beat up, drained, exhausted. Many of us have been through seasons that have changed us. Many of us carry (consciously or unconsciously) the baggage or wounds associated with something we’ve walked through. Many of us look to the Lord and say, Father, I’ve surrendered, I’ve submitted, I’m praying, but I’m still feeling like… and you can fill in the blank. Alternately, many of us are dealing with the fruit of a broken heart, while ignoring what’s getting us there.

You too can make a difference. God might not be calling you to a full-time anti-human trafficking ministry, but He is calling you to “see”.

God has always been committed to community – He could unwrap us from our issues with the wave of His hand or the sound of His voice, yet, He chooses to partner us with other people. People who can see things we don’t, so that, with their help, we can see a future we wouldn’t have.

In this ever-changing world full of drama and controversy, it is so easy to forget that my feet need to be planted firmly in soil amended with God’s word and promises, not soil amended by news anchors and social media.

You are not who you were, what happened doesn’t have to be a constant happening in your life and God thinks you are worth it!

The promise brings us hope for the future but remembering the miracles of the past gives us faith in the waiting.

He goes to prepare a place for us. He will come again and take us to be with Him. We will soon be reunited with our Heavenly Father. Not only will we see IT, we will see HIM.

Rest assured, God cannot change. The same God that rose Lazarus from the dead after 3 days, the same God that saw David become king after 15 years, the same God who gave Abraham a son after 100 years, that God is working on your behalf.

oday, don’t forget that no matter what, when you surrender your life, your pain, your heartache, your sickness to God, you will get fresh perspective of the One who can bring healing and wholeness to your life.

If we want to improve something, we never just arrive at it without doing the prep work it takes to get there.

Worship is your walk. Worship is thanking God for who He is even in your greatest trial. Worship is putting God first in every moment of your day.

I understand that my strength is in direct proportion to my joy. When we don’t have joy, we don’t have strength.

Thankfulness isn’t unrealistic. Thankfulness isn’t being naive to the world around you. Thankfulness is a choice in the midst of life’s greatest battles.

He sees future in you and there is no mistake you have made that can take away His unconditional love for you!
