Sometimes God allows us to explore the 'whys' of His instructions. Other times He wants us to obey 'because He said so.' Has God asked you to obey in a specific matter that still awaits your obedient response?

Being yielded to God's authority keeps us pliable and open-minded to a possible change of plans.

May our memories of kindness be long and of offenses be short.

Believe that God has heard you.

Courage comes from a heart that is CONVINCED it is loved.

If Jesus gives us a task or assigns us to a difficult season, every ounce of our experience is meant for our instruction and completion if only we'll let Him finish the work. I fear, however, that we are so attention-deficit that we settle for bearable when beauty is just around the corner.

God holds his people responsible for righteousness, not for results.
