In writing I have tried to be genuine, humble, and open to listening and learning from God. I also try to put the advice into practice by God’s grace and power. As a reader I hope you approach these notes the same way. I pray they bless you and inspire you to become all God has designed for you to be and to do for his glory. He believes in you and wants the best for you. So do I. The most valuable gift I can give is to build you and others up and to help you draw near to God through Jesus. In time I hope God becomes your closest friend, your brightest future, and your deepest love.
Your friend and teacher,
Greenelsh
311 Receive by Faith
You are priceless because almighty God, the greatest of all time, created you and desires for you to know him and to share in his love. He has given Jesus to make that possible for anyone who trusts in him.
310 Admire the Admirable
Choose people of virtue to look up to. Jesus is the greatest hero you should love and honor. Trust and follow him.

Pursue excellence and persevere. But don’t venture alone. Trust and follow Jesus and he will save, transform, and empower you to accomplish great things.
308 Pursue Full Peace
Peace goes deeper than just the absence of conflict. Jesus brings true peace. Trust him to save you then rely on him to bring about peace to your circumstances and relationships.
307 Agree with God
When you understand and accept God’s unconditional love it changes everything now and forever.
306 Respond Accordingly
Choices matter. God loves you and is calling you to be his influence for good in this world, because it draws you closer to him and helps others do the same.
305 Let Go
Part of your preparation for what God has for you next as an empty nester, or any stage in life, is letting go, so he can do a new and even better work in you and through you.
304 Take Courage
Joyfully take courage in God in order to face the stress, trauma, hatred, and evil in the world and to make a difference for good.
303 Complete the Cycle
Maturing is a circular, iterative process. By God’s grace and power, to learn and grow you must not only hear instruction and wisdom, but receive it, apply it, and pass it on by teaching it to others.
302 Choose the Right Way
You have a lot ways to live your life, but only Jesus makes it possible for you to know God and inherit eternal life. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6, NIV). Only with Jesus can your soul be saved and satisfied.
