Our God is the shiznit

Our God is greater,
Our God is stronger,
Our God is higher than ANY other.
-Chris Tomlin

DANG. That's big. Nah, that's HUGE. God is bigger than ANYTHING.

Huh? What about that anxiety that I just can't seem to control?
GOD IS BIGGER.

What about that porn addiction I just can't seem to get under wraps?
GOD IS BIGGER.

What about the loneliness that haunts me to the point I can't sleep at night?
GOD IS BIGGER.

Let's face it ya'll...the devil is going to use whatever he can to hit you in the face. For ME? It's fear, anxiety, and insecurities. I have them. I deal with them. And I struggle with them. But the deal is... God's bigger. God's better. And God is more than awesome than any struggle you or I may ever deal with.

Take courage. God is near. God is BIGGER.

It's not about me

It's not about me.

It's not about you.

It's not about anyone else in this world.

It's about JESUS.

Our lives, our worlds, our needs, our desires...need to be focused on JESUS.

I'm horrible at this. I feel as if I can be so selfish, as if every move I make has an ulterior motive...to please myself.

I'm sick of it.

What if the first words we asked ourselves in the morning were, "What can I do for Jesus?"
What if we started asking ourselves NOT what action will please us or make us most comfortable...but what actions would please Jesus?
WWJD bracelets may have been a fad, but what if our actions actually showed what they meant??

I'm ready for something more. I'm ready for something more than me.

I don't want to go

I’m struggling.

I’m struggling with leaving. I don’t want to go.

I was doing good. I hadn’t wept. I hadn’t gotten anxious. I wasn’t ready, but yet I wasn’t there. It felt as if I was in limbo.

This hurts. It hurts to leave. It hurts to say good-bye. The tears aren’t going to dry-up anytime soon…but it’s ok. God has his hands on my life. God has his hands on our lives.

We have hope in a savior who loves us more than we could ever imagine. If I could ingrain one thing on all our hearts it would be just that…JESUS LOVES ME

Accept his love. Thrive in his love. Hope in his love. TRUST in his love.

But if You say go, we will go.

If you say wait, we will wait.

If you say step up out on the water…we’ll fix our eyes on You and we will come.
