Mercifully Loved

Our big God blesses our small faith. We are mercifully loved! 

Striving to be perfect is not God's command for us (thank you Jesus).

God's truth never wavers. Our convictions tend to change. Good to know God's don't. 

God exists to showcase God. We exist to have a personal relationship with God so we can go to Heaven and take others with us. Our message, our salvation, our body, our struggles, our success - all proclaim God's glory. 

Salvation glorifies the Savior, not the saved. Our salvation showcases God's mercy. It makes nothing of our effort but everything of His. 

So often, we are looking for ideal environments before we serve. But remember, David was in a cave....What a great reminder that God can and will use us anywhere and anytime. What we might perceive as an inconvience; He perceives as an opportunity. As Heaven's advertising agency, we promote God in every area of life. We're important, but not essential; valuable, but not indispensable. We have a part in the play, but we aren't the main act. 

Life makes sense when we accept our place. We can't be the best without the best, and the best is JESUS! .... The gift of pleasures, the purpose of problems, - all for Him. The God-centered life works. And it rescues us from a life that doesn't.

We were created to reveal glory - just not our own.

Blessings,
Dalinda
