We need to receive this for ourselves and have more of it for others... I have a problem saying "no" to things. Some things God increases my capacity for, other things I attempt to do in my own strength (happens more often than not)... I'm tired, but my God isn't. I'm tired from not setting certain boundaries, and yet, do I always have grace for those I do life with who are feeling these same pressures? Probably not always. I'm tired... we're collectively a tired people. But our God isn't. He continues to call, equip, provide strength, humor, community, and GRACE! If I'm extended that, I should be extending it to others tenfold. Think how the world (immediate and global) would be different if we made room for more grace? Lord, help me to extend grace, not expose the gross... help me to be a person of peace, not a person pressure... help me to have expectations, without stifling excitement, in Jesus' name! | “And don’t be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God’s place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there.” • 1 Corinthians 7:17 MSG | "We won't be distracted by comparison if we're captivated with purpose." • Bob Goff |

AuthorPassionate about Jesus and people, I've added this blog to communicate strategy and thoughts about Biblical Hospitality and The Church as a movement, rather than just people in a building once a week. It seems like everyone is blogging these days, (which is awesome!) and I know that there are always better and more insightful thoughts, but God is leading this so I'm just writing in obedience. |
