Encounter God's Heart…

Shaped by Loyal Love

When the trials of life shake us, we can take the courage offered to us through Proverbs 3:3 and “hold on to loyal love and [not] let go.” The forever-faithful love of God will never let go of us, but we can lean in and hold on with all our strength. We should strive to root and ground ourselves in the mercy-presence of God every chance we get, turning our attention to the nearness and faithfulness of our God.

As we choose to live with integrity, letting our lives match up with the values of our hearts, shaped by Christ’s kingdom, every movement of mercy reflects the power of God at work within us. If we keep holding on to the wonderful nature of God, following in his footsteps, we will not stray to the right or to the left. Let’s keep first things first and fix our eyes on the one who never leaves or forsakes us. As we behold him, we will become more like him.

Loyal God, no one is more trustworthy than you. I hold on to you with all my soul, strength, and attention. Transform me in your life-changing mercy.

From Wisdom from Above written by Brian Simmons

Proverbs 3:3

The Passion Translation

Hold on to loyal love and don't let go, and be faithful to all that you've been taught. Let your life be shaped by integrity, with truth written upon your heart.

5 Things I Got Wrong About Christian Community by Brit Eaton

I sulked alone poolside, soaking my feet and soothing my ego, wondering how it all went so wrong.

God was doing a new thing. Or at least I thought he was. He’d made a way where there was no way. Or at least I thought he had. He gave me the Christ-centered community I prayed for. Or at least I thought he did...

I Hear His Whisper..."All is good in my presence."

I Hear His Whisper...

All is good in my presence.

How pleasant and good it is when you draw near to me and leave your doubts behind. The burning light of my presence will consume every fear and every thought that disturbs your peace. Come before me and see what awaits you.

My child, come closer to me.
My faithful one, draw near, and you will find me.
My holy lover, bring your soul into my loving presence.

All those who find their delight in me drink from a flowing brook of bliss. Delight in me is the joy you will experience for eternity. It is good for you to draw near to me. There is no distance between us when your spirit longs for me. Many will merely sing about it, some will pray about it, but the open door waits for you to enter. Come over the threshold of my glory, and you will find me. I have fastened my heart to yours. Love will bring you near. Even now, you are feeling the pull, the tug of my eternal love. Come close to me, and I will draw even closer to you.

I Hear His Whisper written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

Psalm 73:25–26

The Passion Translation

Whom have I in heaven but you? You're all I want! No one on earth means as much to me as you. Lord, so many times I fail; I fall into disgrace. But when I trust in you, I have a strong and glorious presence protecting and anointing me. Forever you're all I need!
