BE confident in the confirmation He provides to you, even those that may seem strange

I just love this morning’s devotional, and it is confirmation to a conversation I had with one of my big sisters just last night. The text this morning says, “God wants to use you in so many different ways be it in your daily life or in a specific mission that he sets out for you. God doesn't, however, want you to try and be like somebody else in the way that you approach things… God needs you to be you! He wants you to wear the things that make you who you are in order to do his work.“ Be true to you, and let God use you as you are for what you have to give freely. Stay true to you and others can gain so much from you. We are His vessels; let’s just BE willing.

Luke 9

Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭25‬ says, “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Know we have have to lose to win with Christ.

REflection from Don’t Lose Heart

In Chapman’s last message in “Don’t Lose Heart”, he says, “As we all know, suffering and trouble is a real thing…it’s true that in this world, we will have trouble…the suffering that may be happening in our lives right now, as real as it may be, is no comparison to the glory and the goodness that we will see and experience in the day that’s coming…when God wipes every tear from our eyes, and finishes making all things new.” Everything we go T.H.R.O.U.G.H. (Trials, Hurt, Regrets, Obstacles, Uncertainty, Guilt, Heartbreak) He will work for our good as written in Romans 8:28. As we learn from the scripture associated with today’s message, Let us also BE mindful of Romans 8:18, which says, “…the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Keep the faith—things will get BEtter and BE greater with Christ.

Romans 5:3

Let us REjoice in all things, for with Christ, all things will work for our good.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈

BE confident in the confirmation He provides to you, even those that may seem strange, my friend.
