Dear Light of the World,
Often we get too caught up in knowing the duration of the journey instead of wholeheartedly surrendering to the journey of growth that God has before us amidst the journey.
Are you facing a current in your life right now? May you trust Him with whatever season you are currently walking through with Him. He will not fail you. He will not forsake you. He is our God refuge. He will sustain you.

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Disciple,
The other day I was talking to God and He said to me, “I did not ask you to come perfected nor in perfect condition. I asked you to come as you are so that I may condition you.”
“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.”
Romans 12:1-2 MSG
This passage tells us that we are incapable of doing this on our own. We, as believers, were not created to be independent. We were created to be dependent upon God. The perfecter of our faith— the renewer of our minds, the sustainer of our beings, and the creator of our fragile hearts. God wants to condition us.

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Disciple,
Often God takes us through the murkiest waters to prove to us that He has been carrying us the whole time only to safely guide us to the paradise that we couldn’t see in the other side.
Therefore, even in the darkest moments, in the driest droughts in the desert, and the most lonely seasons, God is upholding you. He is fighting for you. He is with you. There is a reason for this season. God is asking you to cling to Him and He is calling you to be closer to Him. May God bless the remainder of your week with Him.

Dear Light of the World,
“No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God.” Romans 4:20 ESV
The promises of God are endless— they are limitless, unwavering, and unchanging. We are able to glorify God when we trust Him with our fears, our doubts, our hardships, and our sufferings. It is in this seasons that we are able witness God’s faithful hand firsthand. The true blessing in being a witness of God’s true faithfulness is that you will always be able to look back and be reminded of God’s goodness.

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Light of the World,
“When we belong to Jesus, we’re finally able to make God look glorious in our lives.” -John Piper
This is a gift that we have been entrusted to steward. What is your goal? What is your mission? We are more than temporary occupants of this beautiful planet called earth. We were created for more than waking up each day and having our own set routines. The world is our mission field. Our daily assignment is to love like Christ loved and to spread the simple gospel. The Holy Spirit will do the work. We just have to be willing. How are you stewarding the gifts that God has entrusted to you during this season of your life? We were created to bring Him glory– not glory for ourselves.

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Child of God,
“The beautiful thing about God is that even though we cannot fully comprehend His love, His love fully comprehends us.” May you truly experience the gravity of just how much the Father loves you. You are His prized possession. You are His child. You are of the His lineage as you have been entrusted with the same gifts that the Holy Spirit bears!

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Child of the King,
God wants to use your testimony and Satan only wants to abuse it. May you allow God to use your testimony to the benefit of His Kingdom. Your testimony is not your own. God has the power to reach so many through your story alone so do not let your fear of opening up and sharing the story that God given you to share, stunt the work of the Lord.
I pray that you experience and reap the sweet blessings of walking with the Father as He guides and directs your path. He walked with you throughout all of the different periods of your testimony up until this point and He will continually walk with you as He continues to write your story.
His Disciple,

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Disciple,
“”Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”” Luke 6:46-49 ESV
Lord is defined as: “Someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler.” How many of us actually treat the Lord like He is the Lord of entire lives? This passage was convicting for me personally. I cannot imagine how many times the Lord says why did she not do what I told her to do? I wonder how often the Lord catches me amid my rebellion and yet He still pulls for me, fights for me, runs for me, suffers for me, and extends grace to me to convey to me that I am His and He is for me. Remember that He is for you, friend. He was for you yesterday, He is for you today, and He is for tomorrow!

1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Carrier of the Spirit,
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV
God made His Son to be sin for us. Thus, we are now righteous in the eyes of the Father. In addition, we are able to rest in the fact our Savior is able to relate to us. Meaning, any emotion, any thought, or any temptation— our sweet Savior has already encountered it and overcame it. Take comfort in the fact Jesus is able to relate to you, friend. He not only knows you but He knows what you are going through.
