Plant it. Grow it. Be it.

Plant it. Grow it. Be it. Be the strength you've been given.

God can give you the strength to do anything. Whether you are in bondage, a situation you can't get out of, a path to destruction, in an unhealthy relationship, are depressed or fearful... God will give you the strength you ask for.

...I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn't have the chance to help me. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Paul in Philippians 4:10-13

Cast all your cares upon The One who cares most.

Coal? Absurd!

Set your church up for victory! Set you life up for victory! Set this country up for victory!

Something we, as Christians, tend to look over are our relationship sins. One of them being the sin to not forgive. It is even likely that you haven't forgiven someone and you don't even realize it. You may be holding a bit of a grudge against someone and not even know it.

Pray to God and ask Him to reveal this to you. This is probably something we should do often. As it is said:

So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice here at the altar. [First] go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God.

James 5:23-24

We cannot prosper when we still have a grudge... even if you don't know you quite have one. Ask Him to show you. Coal? Absurd!

Merry Christmas, beautiful people!

Make Your House a Home for All

Someone told me yesterday that birthdays should be a very big deal for us, and that folks should make it that way. It's so crazy when you think about it. I mean, we're celebrating that day when we actually came into this world. The exact day, however many years it has been since then. Your birthday will, and should, always be a big deal.

So we get gifts for that special someone on that one special day. Why? I guess to say, "Hey, dude. Glad you're here. Nice to have ya around." And some give gifts to say, "Welp. You made it through another year. Congrats." But in all honesty, it still seems so strange to me. Not the celebration part, but the fact that we were all once a baby. B-A-B-Y, baby.

And now we're taking this entire month to celebrate the birthday we all appreciate the most- Jesus'. It's hard to believe he was once a tiny, helpless being, relying on someone else to take care of him. The man who would save the world needed taken care of for years before he could take care of us.

Maybe that was an example on us verses everyone else. We were all taken care of to make it to adulthood. Now, maybe it's time we return the favor. Make your house a home for all.

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!
