Let's be honest here, there are so many ways that we can walk away from God in our lifetime...from the injustice in the world, to the pressures of every life

Yet, the verse found in Hebrews 10:23 is a call to persevere. This is a call to stay on God's path for our lives and to not ”swerve” either way, from it

But the word that was interesting to me this morning was ”hope.” The writer doesn't speak about our faith in Christ, but God's unfailing Hope found in Christ. That's because our journey isn't about us having enough faith - it’s about Christ being faithful

Friends, this is why we do not need to waiver in our journey with God. We do not need to swerve to the left or the right, simply because it was God (not man) that promised Christ will return

Therefore, as our relationship grows with God, we learn to keep our eyes on Christ, thus, trusting that we can hold onto Him until the end

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

I really felt this morning to encourage those in the workplace and/or business owners... There are times that success in the worldly sense can look very different to what God requires us to do in life. Yet He still asks us to do what is right in His eyes

Humanity has not been great at continuing to do things that do not reap any benefits for themselves in quick timeframes, yet there have been a select few that have continued to push through to do what they believe is from God

Friends, so often it can be discouraging to continue to do what is right and receive no tangible results. But Paul challenged the Galatians, and he is challenging us today, to keep on doing good and to trust God for the results

In due time, the harvest will come, because success is always on the same road as failure...it’s just a little further down the road

Therefore, be encouraged this morning to keep pressing into God. Allow Him to guide you in all that you do, and so, if He has said that this is the right path - don't give up

“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9

I imagine our lives as a mosaic sculpture, whereby Jesus is the grout that holds us together, and although the odd ”missing” piece may not seem that big a deal from far away, close up, the grout reveals what needs to be done

As usual, I have found a song that speaks to my soul, but this one line gets me every time: ”As broken as my life may be, I will give you ever piece” Available - Elevation Worship

How often do we hear God beckoning us to His arms, and we are too busy, too scared, too impatient, too broken, too _____ to go to Him?

This song by Elevation Worship talks of being available to God - even if our lives are broken, or pieces are missing. We give our lives to Him, anyway

This is the purpose of the Gospel...that we aren't supposed to have it all together, because Jesus does. We are simply to present our lives as a living sacrifice and follow Jesus. He is the grout in the mosaic because He is the only One worthy to hold every precious, broken, piece of our lives, but the question remains are we willing to give God everything?

Friends, the greatest command that Jesus told was that God wanted us all. Warts n all! But not to condemn us, but to love us

Today, it's not about how much we have it together, but understanding that even if our lives are falling apart, God loves us anyway, and Jesus is here, waiting, to hold and restore us - as always

Yesterday...was interesting

A good friend had directed a conversation into “Christian’s with tattoos” because their Mother (who was party to the discussion) simply believes that Christians with tattoos, must have low IQ’s and that it is a sin to have them

It took me a second to register the new direction of the conversation, and then I paused, as I saw hurt and pain behind my friend's eyes, but also the damage that our words have within our earthly relationships

Both Kieren and I have tattoos - some before finding Christ, but for myself, most came afterwards. Yet, within society, we are classed as well educated, but more importantly, we faithfully serve Christ to the best of our ability

However, my friend simply sought for me to “put her mother in her place” while her Mother felt secure in her position of thought

The Holy Spirit spoke very clearly as I was asked on my beliefs, and He simply reminded me of a verse I adore “love never fails.” I then, as usual, had a choice. I could become defensive or simply allow that viewpoint to wash off me because I learnt a long time ago that everyone could have an opinion, but only God would define me

Friends, as I spoke, I could feel the barricades within the room fall, and there sat before me, was my friend in tears, and her Mother’s heart opened. Speaking from a place of love, meant that words could penetrate the soul rather than the barricades around the heart becoming hardened

I don’t have all the answers, but I know that the world we live in is far from what God desires. It is broken from judgement, greed, and pain

Therefore, my prayer this morning is that the Lord will guide us not to judge another brother or sister, because if we spend time judging another human, we have no time to love them
