Why do I constantly cling to others for what God alone can give me?

I can’t make anything of eternal value happen; only you can do that. So I wait for you, O Lord; my hope is in you alone.

In a world that says increase Jesus says decrease In a world that says first Jesus says last I’m a world that says up Jesus says down In a world that says rule Jesus says serve In a world that says earn Jesus says grace Listen to Jesus

In the kingdom of God, weak is strong. God’s power is best revealed in our powerlessness.

the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed from the smallest of beginnings it grows within until it is able to offer life and hope to all in need of its shelter

let me hear joy and gladness let the bones you have crushed rejoice fear and insecurity are like guilt and shame always together partners in crime intent on robbing me of the joy and gladness that are mine in Christ

Until we are fully captured by God’s amazing love, we will never see the transformation we so desperately long for.

“In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” ~Ephesians 3:12.

“Enjoy your life, enjoy your ministry, enjoy your God. No need to prove, achieve, or perform. The pressure is off! Still and quiet your soul. Let Me wean you of all need. Rest in My loving embrace. That what it looks like to put your hope in Me.”

“How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.” Let me taste your delights today, O Lord, not just read about them.

Well up in me and pour forth through me like a river, O Lord, with your life and your love. Change lives, refresh hearts, and set captives free

O Lord, fill us to overflowing with your Divine Life and Love, so that others might be able to come and drink from the rivers of living water that flow through us from your throne.

“We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.” ~Psalm 33:20-22

Life with God is not about performing, earning, and achieving, but about total and absolute dependence on him.

The failures are what fuel the successes. The humiliations are what lead to true humility. The desperation is what leads to absolute surrender. “For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Mt. 7:14)

Lord, help me to avoid the temptation to produce or manufacture anything. Help me to never run ahead of you, but to wait. Until you call the beauty out in me, I cannot call the beauty out in others. First, I must wait and listen.

“How do we put into place the disciplines that are required to turn hearts of stone into hearts of flesh, whether for individuals or communities? The core word is attentiveness. Be attentive, be alert, be awake. Be ready. Listen.” ~Henri Nouwen

“We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with him. He walks around everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labour is to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake.” ~C. S. Lewis

Help my cup to continually overflow with your goodness and your unfailing love—your compassion and care and kindness, your gentleness and patience and peace. Let my life be but an overflow of your life in me.

“Precisely where you are in the most pain, God touches you most deeply, where you’re most vulnerable. There something new can be born, where you’re most broken. But only on one condition. And that condition is that you live it as the beloved.” ~Henri Nouwen
