Let's Do Launch

Isn’t it true, that the more we’ve experienced something, the more understanding and sensitivity we have for others who are experiencing the same pressure? Where has God placed me? How am I enriched in order that I can give into a need that I see around me today?

When something in life has been neglected, stolen, forsaken, or perhaps never been there, it can take a long time to build or rebuild. It takes a reason to do it, intention and determination, heart, dedication, and belief.

Letters of recommendation are important when authenticity is sought. What happens when a letter of recommendation is not proven to be true? Both the writer of the letter and the character of the person being recommended are seen as false and untrustworthy.

With God, I need to deconstruct the boundaries I have with others. With God, I need to see Him as He really is – not how I’ve experienced other people.

Assurance a positive declaration intended to give confidence; a promise. Promise a declaration or assurance that one will do something or that a particular thing will happen.

Psalm 94:19 (NHEB) In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

Relationship is all about nurturing and forgiveness. We could say, relationship is all about nurturing forgiveness.

Relationship with others is central to nearness with God. It’s all about relationship. It’s about restoring relationship and being at peace with others. It’s about finding restoration and peace within our own heart through forgiveness. It comes from a position of extravagant love.

We may not be believing for a literal mountain to be picked up and thrown into the sea but we are believing for mountains in our lives to be removed and God’s will to be established. It is through Jesus Christ that the will of God be established through His yes and our amen.

The word of God is a place of solace and reconstruction and deep, deep comfort. God is near to those who seek Him.

When we are distressed it’s sometimes hard to be comforted. God says He will comfort us, but how?

Choices give us a way forward. When we have a way forward, no matter how hard or for how long, we must choose to have hope. Our choice to have hope or not have hope, changes our final outcome.

Fear can be debilitating and hold people back from living fully. Being intimidated, insecure, not knowing personal value, not being established in strength when we’re young can lead to a life lived in fear and trepidation. But fear doesn't have to be final. The gifts placed inside us by God are greater than those fears.

I have a friend who has an extremely strong gift of generosity. She will search diligently for a gift, thinking about her recipients as she’s doing so. Joy embraces her gift of giving. She embodies the nature of real giving - giving without thought of anything in return and because of this heart posture, the giver grows richer because of it.

The power to improve begins with the intention of my heart and what I choose to cultivate there.

We are not called to go first through this life. We are invited to follow someone who wants to lead us into a family and a place of true belonging. Kept. Never forsaken. This is not a common family bond.

There is a spiritual dimension that most people do not see. It is a part of our lives, whether people see it or not, and it has everything to do with the life we experience.

There are gifts God gives us for greater spiritual insight. We need them in this life even though with them we still don’t see completely because perfection hasn’t come. Even so, God still wants us to seek them.

If you were just one part of your body, which part would you be? Wouldn’t you look after that part really well? But you’re not only one part. You are a sum of all your parts. Take special care of you.

My conscience needs to be a full and fair scale to measure my responses and reactions. God’s wisdom helps me to make wise and accurate assessments and decisions that bring about successful transactions.
