What has God set you free From? Drugs and alcohol? Gossip? Smoking? Toxic Relationships? Low Self-Esteem? Anxiety and Depression?

We tend to do that with our thoughts as well. We “Stew” over the things we choose to hang on to. We toss our failures into the pot, our hurts, all the nasty things that people have done to us...and we keep stirring up the pot and letting it fester and heat up…..

God love’s you and desires to help you break down those walls and layers, he wants to reach the inner core where nobody sees, where nobody else understands, where nobody else can bring healing and growth. God wants to break through that crust and get to the heart of the matter and help you realize your true identity and purpose.

God will use those interests and passions to glorify his name when we give those dreams to him! He gives those desires ‘MEANING AND PURPOSE'

Maybe you’ve heard the quote “It’s not happy people who are thankful,

It is thankful people who are happy.”

Counting our blessings and being grateful in ALL situations is not always easy.

I was listening to a fitness instructor talk about how when she works out, she wants to go a little past the finish line. She doesn’t stop just before or AT the finish line, her sights are set BEYOND the finish line.

At this time of Thanksgiving and the holidays, families gather together to share their love for one another. They are all separate and unique, yet part of the same family, the same name. How wonderful it is as well, that in Christ we are all also part of the same family. We share his name.

Studies are showing higher than normal rates of anxiety and depression due to Corona 19 lockdowns. It’s also likely you feel some worries and fears and wonder what tomorrow will bring next.

God allows the pain and hurt in our life to “bleach” out the sinful, carnal ways we are naturally born with. Because of the pain, we are able to see our sins and our need for Christ.
