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
251 Hear and Do
Listen to and obey God. Let his word represented in the Bible and in Jesus season your words, mold your character, and direct your actions.
250 Stand in the Gap II
Although it requires sacrifice, empathizing and interceding for others can make a significant difference for them and you.
249 Come Away
No matter how busy, weary, or numb you may feel, you can be strengthened, encouraged, and revitalized by answering Jesus’ loving call to come away with him.
248 Analyze Benefit and Cost
Consider the costs that come with the potential benefits of various societal developments and especially the costs and benefits of living with God or without him.
247 Inherit
God pricelessly values you, unconditionally accepts you, and deeply loves you. Trust Jesus to inherit all God designed for you to be and to have. Then share that inheritance by valuing, accepting, and loving others.
246 Be Content Under Cover
God gives life. Trust and rest in him for he is good, right, and loving. Resist the lure of what seems to give life and pleasure apart from him, for it only ends up stealing, killing, and destroying.
245 Turn and Trust
Turn from your way to Jesus’ way. Trust and obey him for he has already won the battle you are fighting.
244 Look to Love
Look to Jesus, Love Incarnate, who graciously became the sacrificial Passover Lamb who took upon himself the sin of the world so anyone who trusts him can truly live and not die.
243 Abide
Abide in Jesus by trusting and obeying him and you will enjoy the serenity of unity and completeness with God that transcends the trespasses of broken people and the trials of this fallen world.
242 Follow Through
Be someone people can count on, by doing what you say you will.
