Intentional Surrender
Are you like me, wanting to be the boss of, well, myself?
But as Christians, we are called to surrender to Christ. As hard as that can be, He is willing to help us with that.
All we need to do is ask.
Chosen
Waiting to be chosen for a sports team can be excruciating. Waiting for Jesus to choose us, isn’t. Because He already has hand-picked each of us, under His Father’s direction.
The Joy of Choice
We get to choose our words, our actions, our lives. How can we choose what is beneficial?
No Judgement Zone
I never really considered judging myself to be insulting to God. But when it hurts me and my relationship with the Lord, I need to change from criticizing myself to celebrating the gifts He has given me.
Joy in Working for Him
Do you have tasks you dread? We can serve God by doing our very best, even when working on chores we don’t love.
Joyful in the Learning
When something is new, we are excited. We can build on that knowledge and continue to grow. This aptly applies to faith as well. Let’s make it a practice to daily grow in faith and learn we don’t have to become immediate experts.
Promoting Peace
We are to be the peacemakers- but it takes courage. Christ will supply that strength if we ask.
The Joy of Surrendering Control
When caught in the intersection of an immediate deadline and life-changing decisions, I have learned to be still. Surrender control, and let God lead.
Discovering the Joy of Jesus
In our quest for a life filled with joy, we don’t need to be anything, do anything, or achieve anything. We only need to become better acquainted with Jesus.
