What Matters

2 Cor. 4:8-10
We are pressed on every side by troubles,
but we are not crushed and broken.
We are perplexed, but we don't give up and quit.
We are hunted down, but God never abandons us.
We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep
on going. Through suffering, these bodies of ours
constantly share in the death of Jesus so that the
life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.

The last few weeks have been a roller coaster of
emotions and exhaustion. And a lot of the
time it felt like we were a rubber band pulled just tight
enough that if even a hair touched it, would snap.
But every time one more thing got added to the pile, we didn't.
We were given the strength to hold it together.
We're not through all the hard stuff yet, but the rubber band
seems to be relaxing a little bit.
And although we were far from perfect, my hope is
that the light of Jesus was able to shine through us, in
some small way, and be a eye opener to someone else.

2 Cor. 4:18
So we don't look at the troubles we can see right now;
rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen.
For the troubles we see will soon be over,
but the joys to come will last forever.

Just Come.

Revelation 22:17
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come."
Let each one who hears them say, "Come."
Let the thirsty ones come - anyone who wants to.
Let them come and drink the water of life without charge.

To anyone who is thirsty.
COME. Jesus can fill you up.
It's as simple as that.

Happy Tuesday!

Psalm 105:1-4
Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.
Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.
Tell everyone about his miracles.
Exult in his holy name;
O worshipers of the Lord, rejoice!
Search for the Lord and for his strength,
and keep on searching.
