Wonder & Shine

We've been talking on the podcast about purpose.  Comparison naturally came into the conversation.  We often try to compare ourselves to others when we are searching for our identity or our purpose.  But Christ wants us to find ourselves in Him.  Comparing ourselves to others only robs us of our joy and keeps us farther from Christ.  It is a tool of the devil and we must be aware of his movement so we do not fall prey to his tactics.  Trust and believe in Christ.  Know that He loves you just as you are!  He created you!  He doesn't want you to imitate others or try to fake our way through life.  The ONLY one we should ever try to imitate is Christ Himself!  Here's a taste of what we talked about.

Our second episode of Wonder & Shine is available for your listening! The topic is PURPOSE, so I have been sharing a message that I gave on the topic last year at a Women's Conference. This is part 3 of three. Don't forget how greatly you're loved by a Lord that made you on purpose and for a purpose.   III. Discovering Our Purpose To begin to discover our purpose, let's turn to the words of the Apostle Paul.  In his letter to the Romans, Paul talks to all of us about spiritual gifts: Romans 12:6-8 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[ a ] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Spiritual gifts are abilities that God gives believers in order that they m...

I stay pretty busy, sta...

Our second episode of Wonder & Shine is on PURPOSE. This is the first of three parts of a message that I gave at a Women's Conference last year on the topic of Purpose. Remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made... and greatly loved! Thank you so much for reading! Psalm 139 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. 3 You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. 4 You know what I am going to say before I even say it. 5 You both precede and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head. 6 This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! 7 I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God! 8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there. 9 If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your strength will su...
