“God Qualifies The Called”
“Life Is Going To Happen”
“Love & Light”
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
– 1 John 2:9-10
Importance of love and how it contrasts with hate. Love brings light, clarity, and understanding, while hate leads to darkness and confusion. Sad! A reminder to live with love and compassion towards others, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive without fear of stumbling.
“God Gives Unique Gifts”
Romans 12:6-8 in the Bible reads: that God has given us different gifts, such as prophecy, serving, teaching, and exhortation. Each person should use their gift according to the grace given to them.
Challenges you’re standing up for and learn about can provide unique gifts and talents for your future that can be Jesus to others.

“God is Always Working”
God’s work is constant and ever-present. Whether we see it or not, He is always guiding, supporting, and orchestrating events for a greater purpose. It can be incredibly comforting to know that even in times of uncertainty or difficulty, God’s hand is at work.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
“Belonging in God’s Church”
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”
Philippians 2:1-2 (NIV)
There is importance of unity, love, and harmony within the Christian community. Paul is encouraging the believers in Philippi to be united in their faith and to show love and compassion towards one another. He urges them to be of the same mind and spirit, fostering a sense of togetherness and mutual support.
“Not my Plans, But God’s”
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
While we may have many plans and intentions, it is ultimately God’s purpose that will come to fulfillment. This verse highlights the importance of aligning our plans with God’s will and trusting in His complete plan for our lives.
“God’s Letter To His Child”
A letter from God to His children can be seen throughout various passages in the Bible, where He communicates His love, guidance, and promises. Inspiration often flows from the heart, and everyone has their own unique way of expressing thoughts and emotions.
My Beloved Child,
I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, created in My image.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. You are precious and honored in My sight, and I love you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you.
I have plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Seek Me with all your heart, and you will find Me. Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
I am the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep, and My sheep know Me. My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Cast all your anxiety on Me because I care for you.
Nothing in all creation will be able to separate you from My love that is in Christ Jesus. For I so loved the world that I gave My one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
You are My child, and I am your Father. Abide in My love, and let My words remain in you. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and be constant in prayer.

“We Will Rule With God”
“God’s Name Is Holy”
God’s Name is Holy, but no holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to call upon your own. A father gives his son his name, and in this manner, identifies the son with him. His brothers share his same name, and in this manner are united in a bond to which they turn for their identity. Your Father’s Name reminds you who you are, even within a world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it. God’s Name cannot be heard without response, nor said without an echo in the mind that calls you to remember. Say His Name, and you invite the angels to surround the ground on which you stand and sing to you as they spread out their wings to keep you safe, and shelter you from every worldly thought that would intrude upon your holiness.
The idea that calling upon God’s name is akin to calling upon your own underscores a deep connection and unity between the divine and human identity. This perspective can be quite profound, as it suggests that the holiness attributed to God’s name is also inherent within us. “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”
— Matthew 6:9 (NIV)
