God is a God who redeems the time.
Always remember: He loves you deeply. No matter what you go through in this life, “we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
I wish I could write more, but I’ve felt strongly that I shouldn’t write unless led by the Holy Spirit. Right now, the Lord is doing something within me — something I’ll be able to speak on and encourage others with in due time. All praise to Jesus Christ.
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
— Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV)
Pray this over your friends, your loved ones, and over yourself. Ask God to give them a heart of flesh — a heart that’s tender and responsive to His voice and calling.
And while you’re praying for others, don’t forget to pour into yourself. Keep your lamp lit.
“Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning.”
— Luke 12:35 (NIV)
“But the wise took oil in their jars along with their lamps.”
— Matthew 25:4 (NIV)
Stay alert, stay filled, and stay in His presence.
