What If Your Pain Has a Purpose? God doesn’t cause bad things, but He uses them to grow us and draw us closer. Your story, no matter how hard has PURPOSE. God wants to take your hurt, your questions, and your suffering, and turn them into something good. But it starts with letting Him into the equation. 🙌🏻💚 - 📲 Watch the full sermon at: https://lnkd.in/gdJ8Q6fF

September 11 Daily Reflections MAKING AMENDS Above all, we should try to be absolutely sure that we are not delaying because we are afraid. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 87 To have courage, to be unafraid, are gifts of my recovery. They empower me to ask for help and to go forth in making my amends with a sense of dignity and humility. Making amends may require a certain amount of honesty that I feel I lack, yet with the help of God and the wisdom of others, I can reach within and find the strength to act. My amends may be accepted, or they may not, but after they are completed I can walk with a sense of freedom and know that, for today, I am responsible.

Tuesday, April 9 Protect Your Heart Dr David Jeremiah Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23, NIV It seems that most law enforcement personnel today wear bulletproof vests while on duty. While those vests are usually made of tough, synthetic material, in many combat situations soldiers have vests with actual metal or ceramic plates covering their chests. Why the emphasis on protecting the chest from fatal gunfire? Because a wound to the chest may result in a wound to the heart. And a wound to the heart is rarely survived. In Paul’s description of the Christian’s spiritual armor, he wrote that righteousness is the believer’s breastplate—that which protects the heart (Ephesians 6:14). The leather breastplate of the Roman soldier in Paul’s day has been replaced by today’s bulletproof vests—but the purpose is the same. Righteousness implies holiness or sinlessness. But how are we, as sinners, able to protect our heart from Satan’s accusations of sinfulness? By relying not on our righteousness but on the righteousness of Christ who never sinned: “For [God] made [Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Protect your heart by depending on Christ’s righteousness rather than your own. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. Edward Mote Recommended Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:21 (nkjv) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

As an introvert, entering the real estate industry was both an unexpected and daunting leap for me. I didn't fully grasp what I was getting myself into, and to be honest, speaking to strangers and attending social events has always drained my energy. Navigating through a field that requires constant interaction and networking seemed like an uphill battle. However, I quickly learned that this career demands stepping out of my comfort zone and engaging with people from all walks of life. It hasn’t been easy, but each day I find myself breaking barriers I didn’t think possible. This journey has forced me to grow in ways I never anticipated, pushing me to connect, communicate, and thrive in social interactions. I firmly believe that there's a reason I found myself in real estate, challenging my natural inclinations. Perhaps there's a bigger plan at play—one that’s teaching me invaluable lessons and preparing me for something greater. Although I still take it one day at a time, I am profoundly grateful for the experiences and personal growth I’ve gained along the way. To all my fellow introverts out there: sometimes, the most rewarding paths are those that force us to evolve beyond our boundaries. Embrace the journey, no matter how uncomfortable it feels at first. You never know what incredible opportunities and transformations await you just outside your comfort zone. #PersonalGrowth #RealEstateJourney #Introvert #SteppingOutOfComfortZone #Gratitude

James 1:2-4 ESV [2] Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, [3] for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. [4] And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. https://lnkd.in/ecbkn-W

July 23 Daily Reflections I ASK GOD TO DECIDE "I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows." ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76 Having admitted my powerlessness and made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God, as I understand Him, I don't decide which defects get removed, or the order in which defects get removed, or the time frame in which they get removed. I ask God to decide which defects stand in the way of my usefulness to Him and to others, and then I humbly ask Him to remove them.
