Encouragement in the One who loves us most
Thank you to the talented @ryanntvrner for creating this gift! Today, how can we actively protect our birthright of joy? Just like in any spiritual battle we have to utilize the power of Jesus’ name, stay knee deep in the Scriptures & live life around thankful worship-driven people. Determine to exchange the world’s definition of joy for a biblical one. Happiness is not promised in the Bible but joy was bought -for us-by the King! #jesus #bible #boughtforyou#gogetit #inheritance
This year, I want to grow in 4 ways:
1. That in praying for “EVERY Knee “ in the world to find the joy in bending to the love of Christ, I bow my own knees to God first! 2. That God enables me to see “EVERY Day” as He does-full of purpose! 3.That God would give me a fresh heart that actively loves & serves “EVERY Neighbor” & not just my own circle of people! 4. That God would help me die to self-centeredness & my heart would beat for “EVERY Nation”. I’m so grateful to serve @gracebible! Join us in growing in new ways and in asking God to do great things for His name! #everyknee #jesus #bible #god #vision #purpose #gracebiblechurch#gracebiblechurchsouthwood #gracebiblechurchcreekside THANK YOU @ryanntvrner for creating this powerful pictures!!

My friend @ann_huffines gave me this great reminder . Notice the pearl is sitting on a piece of sandpaper. There’s practically no way to miss this message: A pearl is only shiny after it’s been refined, sandblasted, & polished to its designed purpose. Beauty only comes with exfoliation. Are you going thru some sandblasting? Take heart-your trial is not designed to harm you but to help you. Ask God to help you. He wants the world to see you the way He does-complete & beautiful! #pearl #refinery #pain#hope #god #flashthosepearlywhites
