God Loves to Work through You

by in:Courage

If you feel unprepared for what God is asking of you, I can relate. I’ve been struggling with the same feelings. What God whispered to my heart might help you take the next step forward in your adventure with Jesus, too. Recently, God showed me a new calling through reading His Word and years of waiting. I was thrilled He would choose to use me, but honestly, I was a little nervous at the scope of His assignment for me.

by in:Courage

Each of us have causes that make us come alive, things that move us and make us eager and burdened with a word to share. God has given us passions, people, and things that we want to fight for. When the Spirit convicts our hearts and the words are on our tongues, our bodies just want to move and act, help and protect, love and embrace for Christ and His kingdom. Who’s with me? I distinctly remember one of the first times I felt this way. It was in Sunday school of all places, and the ...
