How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. (1 John 3:1 NIV) Lavished Motivating Monday! That you may feel wrapped in the lavishness of God’s love. Become aware of His presence permeating as sweet as honey, taking a deep breath inhaling God’s beautiful fragrance. This is how much He loves us.

Option: Always An Option- Pick 1, 2, or 3
If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. (Psalm 37:23, 24 NIV) Moving Forward! Forward Friday! Reassurance in moving forward, rest in knowing God’s very own hand will uphold. He’s willing! His hand is right there and then like trying to catch a knocked over glass before spilling…the glass moves away from our hands. I sense urgency- trying to reach before it spills.

Search: Seeking Direction, Determining Purpose
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts. And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! (Psalm 139:23,24 ESV) Purpose We spend a good deal of time searching. Could it be keys? Cell phones? Shoes? Meaning to life? Paths once made sense, no longer hold purpose. Yet, is life meant to be without purpose? No. Not only do we have a purpose in life, God has planned this before we were conceived. How do we know? We begin searching God, by seeking Jesus. Search We’re […]
