Sample 81 - Stand Out



"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." - Genesis 1:27

Everyone has their own traits, attributes, and properties. Everyone has their own skill set, their own talents and gifts. While some people may be more similar to each other than others, we have to recognize that no two people are exactly the same. One thing we all have in common is that we're different. (? hahaha I don't know if that made any sense)

Difference is constant, and the temptation to dwell on that is probably just as present and apparent. However, we need to remember that though the differences we have with some particular people really stand out to the point of tension being present, that we are created in His image, and so are these people.

Some people stand out in some things, while you stand out in other ways. Some people have weaknesses in some things, while you have flaws in others too. Imperfection and differences show how much more we need God, and how much more we need each other. What we can do naturally could sometimes be something that propels countless others to move. 

Not really sure where I'm going with this, so right now I'll say... To be continued. God bless you.

Sample 79 - I'm Open


Be open for anything. You may not know who needs your help at any given time but it helps to just be ready for anything. On our own strength this supplement to our mindset would eventually become tiresome; but if we drew strength from Christ, our infinite Source, we would not only excel, but we would have discernment as to what to prioritize.

I believe this, especially now. The word says everything is seen by God, and He sees what priorities are breaking our backs. I believe He gently directs us back to the right direction, just so we're at rest and open all the time, blessed to be a blessing.

God bless you.
