Here's an encouraging word for someone tonight - don't think you're not doing what God called you to do just because things don't seem as glamorous as you thought they would be.

It's not my perfect performance that captures God's attention. It's my complete dependence on Him that He notices.

If you give your mess to the Messiah, He can turn it into a message.

Which do I care more about - demanding my rights or displaying right choices?
