Jesus,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you there is no story too hard for You. Thank you for the peace You offer us in the midst of any crisis or chaos. Teach me to represent You in all conversations. Help me to remember what You’ve taught and what You say. Thank you for being the Savior of us all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Amen.

SPEAK THE TRUTH, EVEN IF SOMEONE DOESN’T WANT TO

SPEAK THE TRUTH, EVEN IF SOMEONE DOESN’T WANT TO HEAR IT. What we all need is more truth and less pretense in our lives. We live in a world where we hear what we want to, and we tune out what we don’t like.

I often am asked, “How do you know what to do wh

I often am asked, “How do you know what to do when…?” and then usually what follows is some impossibly hard scenario. The honest answer is, most of the time, I don’t have any idea what to do. I have learned my most critical role is to make room for God. When I do that, He comes and offers what we lack (wisdom, discernment, self-control, peace…) It’s the first and most important step towards hard-story-fluency.

GOD DOESN’T WRING HIS HANDS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I am busy with worry, Will this ever get better? What will happen next? Can they handle it? God is sitting on His throne, privy to the whole story and perfect in His timing. The mark of fluency in hard stories is the confidence God has not forgotten the people you are called to love.

DON’T TAP OUT, MOST MINISTRY IS A LONG PLAY. ⠀

DON’T TAP OUT, MOST MINISTRY IS A LONG PLAY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We live in a culture of instant gratification, and I can be guilty of thinking, why isn’t this getting easier or the situation improving? However, faith and ministry are much like a muscle. The more I exercise, the stronger I am. I can be tempted to give up, but people are always worth it and if God’s asking me to engage, He’ll strengthen me for the task.

IT ISN’T MY JOB TO SAVE ANYONE OR ANYTHING. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I made this rookie mistake plenty of times. I was certain if I didn’t do something, all would be lost. I now know better: there is only one shelter to rest under, and there is only one Savior who died on a cross.

I am responsible to, not for… it took me a long

I am responsible to, not for… it took me a long time to understand this principle. I am responsible to be a good friend, to pray for others, to come and sacrifice, to speak the truth in love. I am not responsible for anyone’s actions, but my own. I am not responsible for what they do or how it reflects on me. There has been real freedom for me in this.

If He allowed it, He has a purpose for it.
