It’s Friday!! Yeah, what can say, but maybe something exciting and interesting and motivating like this:
16 And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ John 1:16-17
Make it Graceday for those your encounter today.
Kind of following up on the whole put you trust in God and not man thing, here is an interesting quote to consider today.
Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him. -Charles Stanley

Yep, how about we ‘Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.’ I think we would find that maybe the consequences are actually more of ‘unexpected surprises’!
“Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” John 14:23 NIV
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:28-29
It’s Simple, but then why is it so hard?
Seek the simple work today.
As you go about the day today, are you following the good shepherd, or are you being lead be something else?
Stay close to the shepherd who has come to give himself for you.
A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I came to give life—life in all its fullness.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. “I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep know me, just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I give my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not in this flock, and I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock and one shepherd. The Father loves me because I give my life so that I can take it back again. No one takes it away from me; I give my own life freely. I have the right to give my life, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my Father commanded me to do.” (John 10:10, 11, 14-18 NCV)
I know a few if you mentioned you could not see the videos in the email subscription this week. I will work on fixing that, in the meantime, please just head up the the website if the video is not in the post. I am sure yesterday made no sense without that little pink dude running across your screen. You can see him here.
And today as you go out and about, and you struggle with questions like, why am I in this meeting? Take a moment to remember where the fullness of live comes from and then bring light to wherever you are!
A thief comes to steal and kill and destroy, but I came to give life—life in all its fullness. (John 10:10 NCV)
