Beloved . You are exactly that. Don’t stop calling yourself as God’s beloved and precious one even when people start to talk. They have their own picture of what a Christian should be like, but God can’t be boxed in a definition. You may stumble and fail but your identity in Christ will never change.

I’m so grateful the Bible doesn’t hide the failures of those who were used in mighty ways. The people God chose struggled with sin and the hardships of life. And yet even through their imperfections our mighty God did amazing things.

A heart that is devoted to Jesus continues in love. We are to carry the sense of love, humility, obedience and devotion to God into every part of our lives. We are to live in love.

Sometimes God says no. Rejoice in that. He is saving you from a will that is not His. He is saving you from disappointment, pain, hurt, and sin. He loves you enough to say no.
What is patience? The willingness to wait for God’s timing, the willingness to wait for God’s way, the willingness to wait for God’s plan, the willingness to wait for God’s purpose to get it all done.
The thing I can’t get over right now is that God is a God of wholeness and everything about His nature is to restore, and redeem, and re-purpose, and renew, and heal and He exceeds and overflows and overwhelms because that’s who He is. I come empty and He comes to fill – more than my hands can hold. More. More. More.
The sweetest message of the Christmas season is that Emmanual has come, meaning that we are not alone. Hope came to partake in suffering, joy, sorrow, and life. He came to make dead men alive and to start fresh a world that had fallen. We are celebrating the beginning of all tears being wiped away; for we are not looking back in fondness, no, we are looking forward to the day when we are finally home and made new.
When God says no, it can be heartbreaking, suffocating and something that will cause you to examine your entire life. But it is also for a greater good, a good that has not been seen by our eyes, a good that has not been touched by our hands, a good that will ultimately bring glory to Christ and a good that will ultimately bring about restoration to ourselves. For now, it’s okay to mourn and cry out; Christ understands the pain of rejection more than anyone in all of existence.
