remember

A few notes I’ve written down this morning….

-Remember. God loves YOU.

-Remember. Though you may fall 100 times… the Lord will uphold you.

-Remember. You are blessed and highly favored.

-Remember. The Lord wants to lavish His goodness upon you today.

-Remember. The Lord will do exceedingly more than you can think or imagine.

-Remember. You are not your past and it does not define you.

-Remember. You are dead to sin and alive in Christ Jesus.

light in darkness

Last night we went out for our weekly ministry in Detroit. Each week the of reality of affliction and slavery becomes more and more relevant to me. We meet with so many broken people who are hurting and crying out for love. We are so blessed to be able to provide prayer and to share a glimpse of hope in such a broken area. Last night we met with a sister who moved out of the neighborhood and is clean from drugs. This is the type of story we pray for and hope for.

In the middle of the neighborhood last night I saw the most beautiful sunflower. It was large and bursting with vibrant shades of yellow. It was new life that had sprouted in the middle of a war zone. All around was brokenness and pain…but this sunflower was a glimpse of hope. A reminder that the darkness does not overcome the light and that God is greater!!!
